Nationwide legal fees?

Anyone knows how much they charge?
Bit confused about it as we got conflicting info from them directly (called twice and got different info on both occasions?), but also different from mortgage advisor?

We're buying the property that's 170k - £500 for lenders legal cost does not sound right, does it?

Most other lenders legal fees seem in £100 range, anyone can clarify the Nationwide pickle?
I will be calling them tomorrow again, but can't say I'm filled with much confidence in all their answers, when they seem to vary much depending who you get to speak to :(
Don't get mad, get even :A

  • Are they providing you with a conveyancing service in that £500? That wouldn't sound unreasonable

    No - they're not. That would be only their legal fees, so on top of anything our solicitors would charge us! That is if the info given was correct!

  • I recently got a mortgage from Nationwide and they didn't charge me anything themselves for legal fees, I just paid the solicitors fees which were decided upon before we chose a mortgage lender.
