Do I need a solicitor to remortgage my property?
The only instance where you wouldn’t need a solicitor is if you stayed with your existing lender and moved to a new rate or deal – this doesn’t involve any legal work. Otherwise, you would need to appoint a solicitor.
What does a conveyancing solicitor do?
A conveyancing solicitor carries out various legal jobs, including:
- Confirming identification
- Assessing your current mortgage (finding out how much you owe)
- Completing property searches (if the lender requires it)
- Valuing the property
- Reviewing the new mortgage offer
Should I use the mortgage lender’s solicitor?
Sometimes you may have no choice – a free solicitor can be part of the mortgage deal. But, if you have to pay for your solicitor, then it’s best to do your research and pick one that fully meets your needs.
How long does the process take?
Generally, remortgaging will take between one and two months. If you are remortgaging with your current lender, this tends to speed up the process.
