What is remortgaging?
This is the process of changing the mortgage on your property to a new lender or a different deal. You may choose to remortgage for several different reasons including:
- Your fixed deal is up for renewal
- You’re looking to change to a mortgage repayment plan with a better interest rate
- You want to borrow more money to make home improvements – for example, to build an extension
- Your financial circumstances have changed – for example, you need to reduce mortgage payments due to a divorce

What is the remortgaging process?
Remortgaging may seem like a daunting process but it can be straightforward, especially if you use a property solicitor like True Solicitors LLP.
Below, you’ll find the process:
- Research your mortgage deal – find an agreement that’s right for you based on the duration, interest percentage and affordability
- Check any additional costs – as well as finding the mortgage costs, you should consider additional remortgaging fees such as valuation costs, early repayment charges, etc.
- Get a decision in principle – apply for the mortgage for a soft credit check to see if you’ll likely be accepted for the mortgage
- Apply for the remortgage – submit an official application for a hard credit check – you’ll have to send over the requested documents
- Instruct a solicitor to complete the legal side – your solicitor will manage your paperwork for your new mortgage
- Review and accept your offer – if you’re happy with the mortgage once you’ve had a final check, you should accept it
- Complete the mortgage – agree a date for your mortgage to complete
Do I need to instruct a solicitor if I am remortgaging?
You will need to use a conveyancer in the following situations:
- Transfer of Equity: If you are adding an additional person to the mortgage when you remortgage, this is known as a transfer of equity. It involves the changing of legal ownership of the property and therefore requires a solicitor. A solicitor will amend the deeds of ownership and draw up new paperwork stating how you will now own the property
- Removing a person from the mortgage: This also involves the legal change in ownership of the property, so a solicitor is required to amend the deed
