Please contact us for a quote tailored to your particular transaction.

The length of time between instructing us to successfully completing the remortgage process and your new lender details being submitted to the Land Registry, will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes between 4-6 weeks, however if your property is a leasehold it may take longer as we may need to liaise with your Landlord or Management Company.

It can be quicker or slower, depending on the nature of your individual circumstances, the timeliness of each party’s responses and returning of documents. For example, if you are remortgaging a property with a second equity redemption charge, this can increase the timeframes when corresponding with the relevant Help To Buy authority, who will have their own timeframes, to remove the charge.

The precise stages involved in the remortgage of a residential property vary according to the circumstances; however below we have outlined the traditional stages we carry out on a standard remortgage.

• Take your instructions and give you initial advice;
• Obtain the Title Deeds from HM Land Registry;
• Receive your mortgage offer and report to you on this;
• Apply for searches or search indemnity (dependent on what your lender requires);
• Request an initial redemption statement from the lender;
• Send a draft completion statement for you to check;
• Report to lender and confirm you can comply with the mortgage conditions;
• Set a completion date;
• Reconfirm redemption figure;
• Transfer any remaining surplus to you;
• An application will be made to the Land Registry with the new lender’s interest.
