"amount to be advanced to conveyancer"

Hi all. So im buying a property for £275000, i am getting a mortgage of £110000. I have just received a letter from my solicitor as he has just received my mortgage offer. He states

amount of loan - £110000
amount to be advanced to conveyancer - £259,200

i dont see where this 259,200 has come from, and secondly what amount advanced to conveyancer even means. Any help? thanks

    It's a copy & paste error.

    The amount advanced to conveyancer is the mortgage advance, less any fees.
