Planning on purchasing a flat in Linton. 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".

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 Linton lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
