Remortgaging - More Information

When you remortgage, your new lender will require you to instruct a solicitor to look after the legal work involved (called conveyancing).

When a solicitor does the remortgage conveyancing they are acting for both:

  • You – a solicitor will perform certain legal searches which may pick up things you are liable for
  • Your new mortgage lender – to make sure that your property is good security for the mortgage loan.

If you’re remortgaging your home, our solicitors would love to hear from you. Call us on 0330 123 0068 or fill in our contact form and we’ll call you back.

The cost of conveyancing for buying, selling, or remortgaging a property can include:

  • Conveyancer's fees plus VAT
  • Search expenses
  • Freeholder fees
  • Land Registry fees

The exact fees you have to pay depend on the specifics of your transaction.

Our Conveyancing Calculator will give you an instant conveyancing costs quote for properties worth up to £500,000. It will calculate our legal fees and estimate the Land Registry Fees and Search Fees for your transaction.

Use our Conveyancing Fees Calculator today to work out how much your transaction will cost. For properties valued above £500,000, please call 0330 123 0068 or contact us online.

You’ll also have to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on certain property transactions. Learn more in our Stamp Duty Guide.

Every transaction is different and each can take a different amount of time. The average time period is between 6-12 weeks depending on the speed of searches and mortgage offers, the other parties in the chain, the complexity of the transaction and more.

We understand how important it is to resolve property matters quickly, especially when your family home is concerned. Our expert property solicitors will always endeavour to complete your transaction as quickly as possible. With a full service available via post, phone and email, you can take care of everything when it's convenient for you.

See our Conveyancing Guide to find out more about how long the conveyancing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's The Conveyancing Process For Remortgaging?

1. Get an online quote
The first stage is to get an online quote for your remortgage conveyancing, if you’re happy with this then you can instruct us online to deal with your remortgage.

2. Acknowledgement of service
We will send you a letter acknowledging your instruction, together with our terms of business.

3. Complete questionnaire
We will send you a questionnaire and paperwork for you to complete, this will include letting us know about your current buildings insurance and supplying ID documents.

4. Contacting your current lender
We’ll contact your current mortgage lender to get an initial redemption statement (which tells us how much it would cost to pay off the mortgage), as well as any property deeds they might have.

5. Mortgage offer
Once we receive the mortgage offer from your new lender we will review this and send the mortgage deed for you to sign. The mortgage deed is the contract between you and your new mortgage lender.

6. Checking the title deeds of your property
The title is the legal document that shows the rights of ownership of your property, if there are any mortgages or loans secured on it, as well as any rights and restrictions (known as “burdens”) on it. We’ll check this thoroughly and have to inform your new mortgage lender if we find something they need to know about. We would always let you know first if this is the case.

7. Performing searches
We may need to carry out searches (such as water and drainage, environmental and local authority searches), if your new lender insists as a condition of your mortgage. Alternatively we can obtain search insurance if your lender accepts this.

8. Ensure conditions of the new mortgage are met
When your lender makes you a mortgage offer, this will be on the understanding that their lending conditions are met. It’s our job to confirm to the lender that their conditions have been satisfied.

9. Request an updated redemption statement
As it may have taken a few weeks since we first contacted your lender, we will request an updated statement that tells us what it will cost to repay your current mortgage.

10. Agree a completion date
We will agree the date we are working to complete your remortgage on. Then we will let your new lender know and request the funds from the new mortgage to be sent on the date of completion.

11. Completion
On the day of completion we receive the money from your new lender, ensure that your current mortgage is repaid, and then pay any remaining money to you.

12. Registering your new lender on the property title
We will ensure that your old lender is removed from your title deed, and that your new lender’s charge is registered on it (a “charge” is a legal claim on a property). Once this has been updated we will send you a copy of your updated title deeds.

How Long Does It Take?

Remortgages generally take between four and eight weeks to complete.

There’s often a lot of paperwork to complete, so one of the main ways you can help is to complete and return any documents as soon as you can.

Our remortgage solicitors aim to take the stress out of the conveyancing process by giving you regular updates over the phone, email or text message. We’ll work hard to try and hit your target completion date, and pride ourselves on providing our clients with a prompt and reliable service.

To find out how we can help, please call us on 0330 123 0068 or fill in our contact form and we’ll call you back.

What Remortgage Conveyancing Fees Do you Need To Pay?

  • Legal fees – this is for the legal work (conveyancing). We offer a fixed fee remortgage conveyancing service – you can get a free online quote here. 
  • Land Registry fee – when you change mortgage lender the records held by the Land Registry need to be updated.
  • Search fees – these may apply to cover the cost of Local Authority, Drainage and Water, Coal Authority and Environmental searches if required by your new lender. Alternatively a search insurance policy might be required instead. Find out more about fees in our Conveyancing Searches guide.

Our Conveyancing Fees Calculator provides an estimate of the legal, land registry and search fees you are likely to pay. To get a free online quote, all you need to do is type in your remortgage amount.

Sheffield conveyancers are simply the best!

Fast friendly and efficient service from Sheffield team all dealt with electronically due to distance with buying on south coast... The price quoted was fair, fixed and compared favourably against other large firms. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.
