Battrick Clark Solicitors of Bristol offer all the help and legal advice you need if you’re looking to change your present mortgage – at a reasonable and competitive rate.
- Battrick Clark offer a fixed fee to complete the legal side of the transaction
- We work with a wide range of lenders
- We help you achieve a successful remortgage
What is remortgaging?
A remortgage involves creating a new charge on a property and discharging any existing charge. This is perhaps the simplest legal definition of remortgaging. But how does it work in practice, and what are the reasons for it?
Remortgaging your home essentially involves switching from one mortgage to another. This may mean moving to a new mortgage offered by the same lender, or to one offered by a different lender.
Common reasons for wanting to remortgage include:
- Reducing the rate of repayments to a more affordable level when funds are tight
- Benefiting from a lower interest rate offer
- Putting down a lump sum repayment that reduces the total burden of outstanding financial obligations.
Whatever your remortgage involves, your building society, bank or other lender needs a solicitor to act on its behalf, in order to ensure that its legal position is protected. We will act as mortgage solicitors on behalf of your lender as well as acting for you.
We quote a fixed fee up front.
Questions and answers
How long does it take?
It depends on how quickly the lender or building society can proceed and whether there are any title or other issues with the property.
What do you need from me?
We need:
- Specific instructions
- Means of identification (to comply with money laundering regulations) – passport, driving licence, etc.

I used these guys for a re-mortgage and transfer of equity for a shared ownership property. Not only were Battrick Clark competitive on price, the service I received from Andrea, going the extra mile to deliver, keep in touch with status updates were beyond my expectations. Would strongly recommend.
Excellent service as always Andrea Jeffries is the most efficient conveyancer I have ever dealt with. Highly recommended
Used this firm to conduct the sale of my property via “moneysaver”. Great value. Great service. Great communications. I live Overseas and this was no obstacle in a difficult transfer. They were very helpful, polite and nothing seemed to be a problem and always patient. I had the pleasure of Andrea Jefferies conducting my business highly professional, hard working and most affable. Thank you.
RECOMMENDED without a second thought !!
Fantastic experience using Battrick Clark for both my BTL company purchases. All emails and calls were responded to promptly, our Solicitor Ruth Sampson had a very professional and proactive approach which resulted in both transactions going through really quickly. Would highly recommend this firm particularly our Solicitor Ruth Sampson, she was brilliant in every aspect.
Used Battrick Clark for both my partner’s divorce and conveyancing when we recently moved – were great on both occasions.
We really appreciated Ruth Sampson at Battrick Clark hard work to successfully get us to completion. Especially difficult when we instructed her at the start of lockdown! She made it all very straight forward and we really appreciated the attention to detail and all the communication. We think you are brilliant!
I have used Battrick Clark for over 17 years for various property purchases. In the last couple of years Ellie Green has dealt with the transactions and has been extremely efficient. Responses to emails and queries are turned around within 24 hours, unheard of for most lawyers. The only hold up you will get in a house purchase will be from the other side.
Highly recommend.
Very good service deed transfers and remortgage went very smoothly. I Highly recommend!
Excellent place and excellent people Lauren helped me to get my kids back thank you.
