Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

My mother and father are unable to locate their Coningsby property on the HM Land Registry site. They recall that fifty years ago when they acquired the property there were complications regarding Coningsby not being identified on some systems.
The vast majority of premises in Coningsby should be revealed. Have you tried a search to simply the postcode. Normally it should identify all the properties within the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
