What Is a Re-mortgage?

A re-mortgage involves changing the mortgage on your existing property—either by switching to a new lender or negotiating a new deal with your current one. Many clients choose to re-mortgage to:

  • Secure a lower interest rate
  • Fix their mortgage payments
  • Release equity for home improvements or other costs
  • Consolidate debts

Whatever your reason, Pomphreys will guide you through the process and make sure all legal formalities are properly dealt with.

The Re-mortgage Process in Scotland

Although you already own the property, re-mortgaging still requires certain legal checks. At Pomphreys, we’ll handle everything from reviewing your title to finalising the transfer of funds.
Here’s what we do for you:

  • Obtain and review your title deeds
  • Check for any legal restrictions or burdens
  • Liaise with your new lender and request the mortgage offer
  • Discharge the old mortgage with your current lender
  • Register the new mortgage with the Registers of Scotland

We keep the process moving quickly and update you at every step.

Why Use a Solicitor for Your Re-mortgage?

Even when no money is changing hands between buyers and sellers, a re-mortgage still requires a solicitor to:

  • Verify your legal title
  • Complete lender requirements
  • Ensure the new loan is properly secured
  • Remove the old mortgage from the title

If you’re switching mortgage provider, your new lender will usually insist that a solicitor handles the legal process. Our team makes sure everything is done correctly and on time, avoiding delays or costly mistakes.
