This depends in the main on your new lenders requirements. If searches are required then this can mean a slight delay whilst search results are awaited, however the majority of lenders will accept search insurance which does speed up the process.
On average, we would expect a re-mortgage to be completed within 3-4 weeks for a freehold, and within 5-6 weeks for a leasehold.
The prices provided above are a general guide. Our estimated fee assumes that:
- this is a standard transaction and that no unforeseen matters arise including for example (but not limited to) a defect in title which requires remedying prior to completion, or the preparation of additional documents ancillary to the main transaction
- the property is not in a block over 11 metres or 5 storeys or more in height
- the transaction is concluded in a timely manner and no unforeseen complications arise
- all parties to the transaction are co-operative and there is no unreasonable delay from third parties in providing documentation
- you are not an investment buyer
- no indemnity insurance is required
As each transaction is different we are very happy to discuss your individual situation and provide you with a more precise and personalised quote, so please do get in touch with us.
