I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Cobham.
My wife and I own a terraced Georgian house in Cobham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cobham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I am buying my first flat in Cobham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
