How long does a remortgage take?

Typically 4 to 6 weeks from the mortgage offer, as there is no chain.

Should I use my lender's free legals?

Free legal panels work at volume. With a tight deadline, a title quirk or a name change on the deeds, your own solicitor usually pays for itself.

Can I remortgage and add my partner to the deeds together?

Yes, both can be handled in one transaction, with LBTT implications flagged first.

What we handle

The legal side of your remortgage

Switching lender

We redeem your old mortgage, register the new lender’s standard security, and make sure the switch completes before your rate deadline.

Releasing equity

Borrowing against your home for improvements, a deposit for family, or consolidation – handled properly, with funds released on time.

Lender requirements

Title checks, searches, occupier consents and the lender’s legal conditions – we satisfy the checklist so nothing bounces back.

Title changes at the same time

Adding a partner or removing a name while remortgaging is common. We handle the transfer of title in the same transaction.

Why your lender insists on a solicitor

A remortgage is legally a new loan secured over your home. The new lender needs its security registered correctly, the old lender needs repaid and discharged, and the title needs to be clean in between. That is solicitor work, and doing it slowly can cost you a rate.

We work to your lender’s timescales, not the other way round. You get a fixed fee agreed at the start and a named solicitor who keeps the transaction moving without you having to chase.
