The fee estimate they've given of £500 has shocked me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Adamsdown is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
