You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications.

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 Bolton conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
