Remortgage - Legal Costs

We will pay the legal fees in connection with a straightforward remortgage of registered land. However, you should be aware that your client will be required to pay all the charges or fees relating to any non-standard work that a conveyancer has to carry out.

Non-standard fees your client will have to pay:

  • mining or any other unusual search fees
  • fees for first registration of the title at HM Land Registry
  • dealing with a change of name on the title deeds or a transfer of equity
  • rectification of defective title etc.

For leasehold cases, any fees your client must pay to the freeholder or management company and any fee for carrying out a company search or obtaining company documentation in respect of the management company are not included.

The solicitor we choose will be acting for Nationwide, so if your client decides not to use the solicitor selected by us and/or take independent legal advice, this will not be covered under our 'free legal fees' scheme.
