The majority of lenders require you to have owned a property for 6 months before they will accept a remortgage application. The length of ownership is normally verified by searching the land registry. However, where the ownership is not showing on the Land Registry website the acting solicitor can confirm the purchase, date and price.
However, there are many circumstances in which this isn’t suitable and you need to remortgage your property much sooner. This is known as a day 1 remortgage and there a number of reasons why a day one mortgage may be required:
- You may have realised you need more money to carry out improvements or repairs and therefore need to remortgage straight away.
- You may have borrowed money from friends or family to buy the property for cash at auction, or to beat the competition and need to repay them.
- You may have carried out that has increased the value of a property and you want to release some equity.
Whatever the reason, there are a limited number of lenders that accept day one remortgages. However, they are slowly becoming more available.
