Why you need remortgage solicitors

Even though you’re staying in the same property, remortgaging still requires legal work. Here’s what needs to happen:

• New mortgage documentation – Your new lender requires legal confirmation that their mortgage will be properly registered against your property.
• Existing mortgage redemption – Your current mortgage must be formally discharged and removed from the Land Registry records.
• Legal title verification – The new lender needs confirmation that you still own the property and there are no new legal issues affecting it.
• Fund coordination – The timing of receiving new mortgage funds and repaying the old mortgage must be precisely coordinated to avoid any gaps in coverage.

While some lenders offer ‘free legal work,’ this usually means basic processing. Having your own remortgage solicitors ensures someone is working specifically in your interests and can handle any complications that arise.
