Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers should you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the lender and determine if they offer you a cash alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Wednesbury.
