Remortgaging in London, handled by your named solicitor.

If you're remortgaging a property in London, the concern is rarely the decision itself, you've already found a better rate or you're releasing equity, it's the timing. London remortgages tend to sit under more pressure than those elsewhere: lender valuations get booked further out, freeholder and managing agent responses on leasehold flats can drag, and the sheer volume of transactions across the capital means every party in the chain is juggling more files than they'd like. A remortgage that should be straightforward can quietly stall for weeks if no one is chasing the right people at the right time.

That's where the named-solicitor model matters. Your remortgage is handled from start to finish by Lauren Basger, SRA 455207, not passed between case handlers or lost in a call centre queue. You'll know who is dealing with your lender, who is writing to your freeholder for the leasehold pack, and who is answering when you ask where things stand. For London flats in particular, where management packs and consent-to-mortgage requirements often set the real pace, having one solicitor holding all the threads tends to be the difference between a remortgage that completes in good time and one that quietly slips past your rate deadline.
