Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Principality but by your Wolverton conveyancer. Some firms on the Principality panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
