I am getting a mortgage offer from Royal Bank of Scotland. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer. Does the Royal Bank of Scotland Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC

You should not exchange unless you have advised to do so by your lawyer.

The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Planning on purchasing a house with a mortgage with Royal Bank of Scotland. I have received an online quote from a licensed conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. 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 they are on the Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed
