We previously appointed solicitors locally in Upper Clapton on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Co-operative mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?

Some firms on the Co-operative panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

About to purchase house in Upper Clapton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Upper Clapton lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
