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 Framlingham conveyancer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

Nearly all residences in Framlingham should appear. Have you attempted a search to just the postcode. Normally it will disclose all the residences inside that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s bank.
