We had selected conveyancers based in Ellesmere Port on the Principality solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?

Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
