Expert Remortgage Solicitors

Making the decision to remortgage your home can be just as life-changing as buying your first property.

A mortgage is a secured loan against your property when there is no current mortgage. A remortgage is when you either renegotiate with your current lender or change the mortgage on your property to a new lender. It is important to speak to a mortgage adviser who can go through the options with you and make sure you get the right deal for what you want to achieve. 

The fees detailed below for a mortgage or remortgage assume the lender is a mainstream/high-street lender.  Our fees will be higher than quoted below if the lender is not a mainstream/high-street lender, with additional conditions.

Why should you remortgage?

Why should you remortgage?

There are many reasons you may wish to remortgage, such as:

  • To reduce the interest rate on your mortgage
  • To fix your monthly payments and protect against possible future rate rises
  • To raise money to carry out home improvements
  • To raise a cash lump sum by releasing equity from your home
  • Change in personal circumstances, such as a marriage or divorce
  • To consolidate your debts

Time Scales

Time Scales

A typical remortgage takes between 6 and 8 weeks; it can be longer if there are any complications, such as an application being rejected. The process may also take longer if you switch lenders compared with getting a new deal with your current mortgage company.

Factors that commonly extend the timescale include delays in obtaining paperwork from your existing lender, additional enquiries raised by the new lender, or issues identified during the title checks.

The full team of Andrea, Catherine and Olivia supported, advised and professionally managed what was a difficult and challenging time for me personally due to the complexity of the case. They were always available to talk to, which led to a real 'family' feeling of togetherness, which then helped me to process information much more easily.
