We previously selected conveyancers based in Kirkby on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for handling the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Nationwide but by your Kirkby lawyer. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Kirkby. I have a mortgage offer with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.
