Nationwide mortgage through Connells EA

[toastybase]

Hello,

My partner and I have had a offer accepted on a house last week. We've been given the following breakdown of costs which are payable to Nationwide.

Booking fee - £99 (on application)

Arrangement fee - £400

Valuation fee - £290 (on application)

Telegraphic transfer fee £25

OTHER FEES

Fees to Connells for arranging the mortgage - £349 (on application)

Broker valuation admin fee - £165 (on application to broker)

We are first time buyers and just want to get some opinions on the above mentioned costs. Are these fees the norm in setting up a mortgage or do they seem pricey?

Thanks.

As above - give Alex (Scotal) a call. Connells are taking the p1ss and you shouldn't have to pay any admin or valuation fee to the broker.
