I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Alnwick lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Alnwick differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Alnwick come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Alnwick usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Alnwick or who has acted in the same development.
