Our conveyancers have experience in dealing with these types of matters and will aim to make the process as quick and stress free as possible without compromising on service.
Re-mortgaging is when you change the mortgage on your existing property to a new lender. You may be re-mortgaging for a better deal or because your circumstances have changed, we will be here every step of the way to guide you through the process.

Costs Information
A fixed fee quotation can be obtained using our Conveyancing Quote Calculator (green button at the top of the page) or by clicking here.
All re-mortgage quotations will consist of legal costs (the costs for the services provided which are subject to VAT (currently 20%) and disbursements. Disbursements are necessary third party costs such as Land Registry document and registration fees and Stamp Duty Land Tax/Land Transaction Tax (if applicable) etc.
As a standard and generally speaking, our fixed fee for acting in the re-mortgage of a property consists of the following:
- Checking over the paperwork completed by you.
- Requesting and inspecting a copy of your Title from Land Registry.
- Requesting a settlement figure for your mortgage and any other secured loans (if any).
- Liaising with appropriate parties and arrange a completion date.
- Organising final accounts and prepare a completion statement.
- Collecting in any balance of funds required.
- Paying off any one existing mortgage registered against the property.
Unless otherwise advised, any quotation is given on the basis that:
- The property is currently held under a single freehold title at the Land Registry with no title defects.
- There is one single charge/mortgage registered against the property.
Timescale Information
On average a re-mortgage transaction takes between 4-6 weeks to complete although this is very much an average and some transactions will complete sooner and some will take exceed this timescale. More complex transactions such those involving leasehold properties, management companies, second charges (Help To Buy for example) transfers of equity etc will likely take longer to progress than standard transactions.
As a very rough guide and noting that all transactions can proceed slightly differently and at different timescales due to the complexities involved in a conveyancing transaction, we would consider the key stages to be the very basic stages:
- Obtaining the documents of title to the property from the Land Registry
- Investigation of title is carried out to ensure that the property is suitable security for the mortgage lender and meets their requirements. This is usually completed whilst other formalities such as mortgage arrangements are undertaken
- Investigation of title is completed and pre-completion arrangements are made
- Completion takes place and post-completion formalities are attended to
