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 Pontprennau conveyancing practitioner is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
