Mortgage completion - No FEES means?

Hi,
I've recently switched to a "no fees" CoOperative Bank mortgage, but on the final statement sent out by the company nominated solicitors are 2 fees
a) Bank Charge 30+VAT (This was not for repayment of any balance -- this appears to be for mortgage itself)
b) Land registration fees £30
Now as far as I can see both of these are expected/normal fees, yet everywhere on my key facts etc I see "no fee".
Is this normal, or should I be approaching the coop for a refund of these charges?
Note - the product itself is great, and they've been very helpful so far.

This is the problem with the whole free legal thing! They sound like charges from the solicitor not the lender, but free legals should be free legals. I dont doubt they cover them selves in a small printed leaflet or something however I would complain to the lender first. Solicitors do what they like as they answer to nobody!0
