Do I need a solicitor when remortgaging?

Yes, most remortgages require a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to complete the legal work.

Even though you’re not moving home, a solicitor is usually needed to:

  • Review your new mortgage offer
  • Repay your existing mortgage
  • Register your new lender with HM Land Registry
  • Ensure everything is completed correctly and on time

Finding the right solicitor for my remortgage

Some lenders offer a free legal service, but many clients prefer to choose their own solicitor for a more personal service and independent advice. At Browells Smith & Co, our conveyancing team can help make your remortgage straightforward and stress-free.
