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 Walkden conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Walkden I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Walkden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
