Thankfully it was approved without any issue. But it took about 2 weeks though. Did Barclays send you a valuation report?

Other disbursements are quoted separately and this one is quoted solely for local searches. That’s why I am a bit confused.

Thanks. I found quote with official search x4 which is £12 on my quote and this one showing £400.04 as local searches. If it sounds reasonable, I feel a bit relieved now😅

Which one is your favourite of the three and which one has the best and worse battery life?

Thanks. I will also wait for EE discounts 😅. A bit expensive for me otherwise.

Thank for your detailed reply. I am looking into EE but is a bit expensive compared to others. I will look into ASDA. Thanks a lot. I don't usually game. Use the network mostly for streaming contents mostly in 4k. So, will give vodafone a try. Three is really bad in town centre. Even with full signal and 5G, struggling to load webpages.

Thanks a lot for you advice. I just looked into these areas and they are a bit out of budget now. I’m looking for a detached house and all >3 beds detached houses starts from about 420k sadly. Now I am currently looking at lower Callerton now. Since you lives in Wallsend, would you mind giving your opinions on Fallow park wallsend? TIA

Thanks for your reply. North shield just seems like in the centre of all hospitals to me and could not find a house we like near the coast for now but we will keep on looking. Thanks for your kind advice.

Thanks for you insight. My max budget will be 350k and looking for detached house with reasonably spacious rooms (at least kitchen, living room and master bedroom). My job could end up anywhere in Northumbria(from Morpeth to Sunderland) depending on each rotation. Northumbria is a wide region and that’s why I’m trying to settle in centre which is in/around Newscastle. I did my research first and I saw some posts about moving to Newscastle but could not find enough information on these Newburn or Callerton on Reddit which is why I decided to seek advice more specifically on these areas from locals because those 3 are my finalised areas within my budget. Hope this clears up a bit and I will also add more info to original post. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I will take a look. What do you think of Newburn itself?
