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 Callington property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Callington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Callington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 residence.
