Strong appetite for heritage city properties.
Six to twelve weeks from formal application to drawdown is the typical range, with straightforward cases at the short end and complex structures taking longer. The valuation alone takes 2-4 weeks, legal title review another 3-5 weeks, and lender credit decisioning 1-3 weeks. We recommend starting the remortgage process at least six months before any fixed-rate end date, so the new facility is in place the day the existing one reverts to a higher variable rate.
Six months before the end of your current fixed-rate period is the optimal window. Earlier than that and the formal valuation may go stale; later than that and you risk paying reversion-rate interest during the gap. If your trigger is equity release rather than rate maturity, start as soon as you have a clear use of funds, the current valuation is the binding constraint and sets the timeline.
Almost always yes. Most lenders require a valuation no more than 3 months old at drawdown, and the valuation must be addressed to the new lender (existing lender valuations typically can't be transferred). Some lenders accept a desktop or drive-by valuation for low-LTV remortgages on standard residential investment property, but full RICS valuations are the norm for commercial.
