It looks as though am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or do I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?

I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society 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 Lifton lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
