After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Gamston. My financial adviser suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Gamston is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
We are soon to complete buying a property in Gamston but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the owner of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but the lender will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
Your property lawyer being on the mortgage company approved list is duty bound to disclose to the lender of any amendments to the sale amount. In the event that you did not allow your solicitor to notify the price change to your mortgage company then they would have to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the mortgage company.
