About to purchase apartment in Southwater. 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 take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. 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 Southwater solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

We are in the middle of purchasing a property in Southwater. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on our Natwest valuation?
Southwater conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your lawyer.
