Services included in a remortgage

A broad outline of our work on acting for you in a remortgage transaction:

  • Checking that you have good title and reporting to the new lenders
  • Making the pre-completion legal arrangements and checks
  • Getting the mortgage money from your new lender and redeeming the existing mortgage and obtaining any balance we will need from you, if there is a shortfall
 Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the above fees are accurate, we reserve the right to raise further charges if the complexity or amount of work involved exceeds levels anticipated at the outset. Please note that the cost of disbursements are subject to any increases (which are out of our control) which may be imposed by third party suppliers, or if some of the information on which our quotation is based proves later to be incorrect. Our fees are applicable only to property situated in England and Wales.
