What is a Remortgage?
Remortgaging is the process of getting a new mortgage on a property you already own, whether that is to either replace your existing mortgage or to borrow money against your property.
It is a way of providing homeowners with an opportunity to unlock value in their property through an equity release or to change their existing mortgage to obtain better rates.

At London Solicitors, our experienced remortgage solicitors will take all the necessary legal action to secure your remortgage with ease and ensure that the appropriate protection is put in place for the transaction to be completed.

How long does Remortgaging take?
With London Solicitors, we strive to ensure your remortgage transaction is as straightforward and simple as possible. However, the overall amount of time of remortgaging is dependent on the circumstances.
It will typically take a few weeks if your mortgage lender is prompt in issuing the mortgage offer and if they do not have any time-consuming requirements that we will have to look through.
Our aim is to complete your remortgage transaction in a timely manner and ensure that the capital you are obtaining from the remortgage process is available as soon as possible.

Residential Conveyancing
Do I need a solicitor or a conveyancer?
Yes. It’s strongly advised to use a qualified solicitor to manage property transfers. They can identify legal risks that non-professionals may miss.
How long does the process take?
Most transactions complete in 8–12 weeks. We’ll always aim to move at your pace.
Can I use you if I’m not in London?
Absolutely. We regularly assist remote and overseas clients with Chelsea-based property.
What’s the difference between leasehold and freehold?
Freehold means you own the building and land. Leasehold means you own the property for a set term and pay service charges and ground rent. We guide you through both.
