If you plan to refinance then Co-operative will require that you use a conveyancer on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

I am expecting a DIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Corwen solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Corwen solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

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 Corwen solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
