In the event thatI were to purchase a simple residential housein Whitnash mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Whitnash?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the costs for searches. A conveyancer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the sellers solicitor, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage however it won't be meaningful.

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Whitnash property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
Intending to buy a apartment in Whitnash.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS 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 Whitnash property lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
