Mortgage and Remortgage Fees
Our fees made clear
Our pricing depends on the type of the property and the complexity of the matter, i.e. if the property is freehold or leasehold and what your lender’s instructions are.
Our fees for a typical remortgage range from £595 (inc. VAT) to £795 (inc. VAT).
This is why it is important that we give you an individual cost estimate at the start of the transaction, taking into account the important features of your remortgage. We will always advise you immediately about any complications and discuss the potential impact on prices before we incur any additional charges.
Our fees cover all of the work required to complete your remortgage including dealing with registration of your lender’s mortgage with the Land Registry.
Disbursements
Disbursements are fees we are required to pay out on your behalf to third parties and include the following:-
- Search fee – approximately £228 depending on the local authority. Your lender may accept search insurance which is cheaper but we would not be able to advise you of this until receipt of the mortgage offer
- H M Land Registry fee – This is set by the Land Registry according to the amount of borrowing (see Land Registry fee scale on their website)
- Electronic money transfer fee – £35
- VAT – we will add VAT to our charges at the rate which applies when the work is done. Currently 20%
How long will my remortgage take?
This is dependent on a number of factors but the average process takes between 4-6 weeks for a straightforward transaction. If your lender’s instructions are not straightforward or we come across a defect in your title, it could take significantly longer.
Stages of the process:
- Take your instructions and give any initial advice required
- Check finances are in place
- Carry out searches
- Check title
- Obtain further planning documentation if required
- Advise on the conditions of your mortgage offer
- Obtain your signature to the mortgage deed
- Arrange a completion date
- Obtain pre-completion searches
- Request final repayment figure from your existing lender
- Request mortgage advance from your new lender
- Complete remortgage
- Register your new mortgage with the Land Registry

Dispute problems caused by both our buyers and our seller, Rothera Bray kept us fully updated at all times with what was happening. Nikola was very good at explaining any problems that occurred and how they would be resolved. In what became a very stressful process, due to the poor communication from our buyers solicitors, we were total confident that all problems would be resolved. I would recommend Rothera Bray Solicitors without reservation.

A huge thank you to Rothera Bray, in particular Sally Simpson who assisted us through our house purchase. Sally has been so helpful throughout the process and always replied quickly to any questions we had. We were so lucky that our purchase went quite smoothly and I think a big part of this was down to Sally as she was always getting updates from the other solicitors in the chain and always sending things over quickly and efficiently. Thank you for your help and support in what can be a stressful time!

my experience with Rothera Bray has been fantastic, Abbey has updated me every single step answering any questions that I have raised putting my anxieties to ease. ? Abbey responded promptly to my emails and even in her absence, her covering colleagues got back to me with queries I had. I would definitely recommend Rothera Bray to friends and family to which I already have. Prompt responses, detailed explanations and professional engagements.

Jackie was absolutely brilliant as my conveyancing lawyer. Always quick to respond, sent me relevant communications very promptly, and answered any (of the many) questions I had. I always felt as though I was in good hands with her. Nikola was also very helpful when Jackie was out of office. I’d highly recommend Rothera Bray (specifically Jackie and Nikola) to anyone looking for conveyancing services.

Myself and my husband were thrilled with Julekha, Lisa and the rest of the team at Rothera Bray for being on our side throughout the entire process of our house move. They kept us updated regularly on progress and advised us in a friendly professional manner and they were always helpful answering our questions and easing our concerns. Now settling into our new property which feels like we're staying in a holiday home.

I was left with the unenviable task of selling my late cousin's maisonette on the outskirts of London. Health issues mean I'm unable to travel so everything had to be done remotely. On the surface it appeared so simple but the whole process was beset with trip-hazards and cliff-hangers all the way. I wouldn't have had a clue but the team remained calm and professional and negotiated the minefield step by step. At times they worked like beavers to achieve a successful and timely result, and I was kept informed every step of the way.

Excellent solicitors. Sally Simpson made the whole process of buying a house a breeze. Attention to detail, good advice and fast service. Thank you for making the process quick and easy to digest. I have used Rother Bray previously and would definitely use them again. Thank you so much.

We recently purchased a property in West Bridgford through Abbey and team at Rothera Bray. They did an excellent job and were very professional. We would like to give a special mention to Priscilla, who picked up the work at a critical time and did a brilliant job of moving things along, as well as keeping us updated. Would strongly recommend the Rothera Bray team.

I cannot recommend Rothera Bray enough, especially Fatima, who dealt with the sale of my property. Nothing was too much for Fatima, she was easily contactable and kept me at ease throughout the whole process with her professionalism, answering any questions I had. I can’t thank her enough, and highly recommend Rothera Bray to anyone.

Big changes to pension and inheritance tax rules coming in 2027: what you need to know

Secret recordings in family law cases: helpful or harmful?
As a family lawyer I come across all sorts of situations in family court cases, but one that is becoming more common is covert (secret) recordings of children or the other parent. It’s a difficult issue. One party might feel compelled to record, to substantiate their claims and stop false accusations. However, covert recordings have generally been frowned upon by the courts.
Stamp Duty: what is it and why is it important to get the right advice?
Stamp Duty has recently hit the headlines, with Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner underpaying the tax on her recent property purchase, highlighting just how important it is to get the correct advice when buying property.
What to know before moving away with your child
Relocating with your child whether to another part of the UK or abroad can be a fresh start. However, it’s also a decision filled with legal and emotional complexities. If your child has regular contact with their other parent, the process may be more challenging than expected.
