I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Crynant. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £175. A couple of days later, the property lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
