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 Studley conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

Do I need to be wary by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Studley conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often recommendations from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all suggest lawyers to choose. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that many lenders operate an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
