Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Irby property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
