I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

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 Leven property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Leven differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Leven come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into.
