Planning on purchasing a apartment in Anstey. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender 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 Anstey conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Anstey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Anstey approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Anstey tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Anstey or who has acted in the same development.
