Steps and advice when switching mortgage
What’s first?
The borrowers will give the details of their solicitor to their new bank. The new bank will send the loan offer and legal pack to the solicitor. The solicitor will review the loan offer to ensure that the borrowers can comply with all of the special conditions in it.Â
Then, what happens?
The borrowers will sign the loan offer and legal documents with their solicitor. The solicitor will send these to the new bank and arrange to drawdown the new mortgage. When the funds are received, the solicitor will redeem the old mortgage.Â
What’s next?
The solicitor will ensure that the old mortgage is removed from the title of the property. The solicitor will then apply to the Land Registry to register the new mortgage on the title of the house. When this is completed the solicitor will send all of the title deeds to the new bank.Â

Tips for switching mortgage
When do I get a solicitor?
Get your deeds from your current lender early. It can take up to 3 weeks for the deeds to get to your solicitor, from the date they are requested.Â
BER?
Check what documents your new bank before drawdown. If you are getting a “green” rate, the BER must be submitted in advance of releasing funds.
Will I get change?
You must drawdown the new loan amount in one full amount, Usually this is a little more than you need to pay off your old loan. The difference is available to you to use.
Who are the borrowers?
All borrowers must be the registered owners of the property. Often, only one person is the owner from the original purchase. This must be changed for the re-mortgage and is an additional legal service. Â
