Mine is for a property new build 180k in North East

Wow, that's a lot of fees to pay.

My quotation is straightforward and easy to understand. I would suggest you get another quote from a different solicitor.

See the attachment below for reference.

House,

I have just been given a quote of £ 4,137.98 for conveyancing for a new build.

I feel this is on the high side. What do you think pls?

Pls what & what is included? Mine is £6,641. I'm in Scotland and Stamp duty is paid for property worth £250k and above.

Very unlikely.

There is a possibility they raised some queries which the broker (I presume you are using one) responded to without notifying you. You can check with them

He submitted the application alone. There's really no much communication from his side. Although he mentioned that the application will take 4 -6 weeks to be approved.

It didn’t take more than 3 days.

I don't know if its because I am a first time buyer. My case manager sent me an email that the underwriters is still reviewing my income, they sent a query which has been replied.

If I call Barclays directly, I don't have a reference number for my application. Honestly, my mortgage advisor is not helping at all. I wish I can change him.

I went with Barclays 5 years fixed deal. The interest rate is 4.62%. 90% LTV.

Pls how long did it take to get your mortgage offer from Barclays? My mortgage advisor submitted my application since 11th of April and I haven't heard from them today the 3rd of May. I'm getting worried...
