The Mirror Guy, Firm Review
Excellent service. Quietly attentive, sympathetic listeners, and efficient practitioners, all that a worried applicant could wish for. And especially unusual in this day and age....
Brian, Firm Review
Honestly I've never wanted to review solicitors before, they've been ok and have done their job at varying timescales. From the start, my partner and I have commented every single time when something happened how quick they are, and they're a delight to communicate with too! And their app is brilliant and has made things so much easier. We will use in the future and will not stop recommending.
Chris, Firm Review
I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors and had the pleasure of working with Holly as my point of contact. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Holly was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient - she kept me updated throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free.
Manuel, Firm Review
Rhea, and everyone so far at Lyons Bowe, have been truly fantastic. Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them, very pleasant in conversation and always ready to help. Highly recommend to anyone.

Remortgaging usually takes a few weeks. This time includes getting a new valuation of your property, receiving your new mortgage offer, and the legal checks. Lyons Bowe aims to make this process as quick and smooth as possible for you.
When you can remortgage depends on your current mortgage deal. Some lenders let you remortgage at any time, but others might have rules about how long you need to have had the mortgage. Remortgaging too early might mean you have to pay a fee to your current lender. It's best to check the terms of your current mortgage.
Yes, you can remortgage a help to buy property, however your lenders may require you to have built up a certain amount of equity in the property, or to have been held the mortgage (whilst making consistent repayments) for a certain amount of time (typically two years) before you have the option to remortgage.
This varies from lender to lender. Some lender’s terms will allow you to remortgage at any time, other lenders will stipulate that you have to have been making payments on the mortgage for a fixed amount of time before you can remortgage. You will need to check with your lender’s terms.
No, you do not need to pay SDLT on a remortgage unless the ownership of the property is being transferred to another party, in which case, they would need to pay SDLT.
Yes, however you will be limited to lenders that offer shared ownership mortgages.
Remortgaging is the process of taking out a new mortgage against your property. Your lender will perform a new valuation on your property and you will need to sign a new mortgage agreement. You may also re-mortgage if you have received permission from your lender to privately rent out your property and you now need to take out a buy-to-let mortgage.
