Buying or remortgaging with Lloyds Bank? Check the lender instruction, legal work and fees with our conveyancing team.
Remortgage
A rate switch is not always a remortgage
Lloyds publishes guidance on when conveyancing is needed for remortgaging. If you are staying with the same lender, establish whether you are simply changing the deal or also changing owners, security or borrowing arrangements. Send the lender's confirmation so we can explain whether legal work is required and what it covers.
The legal work
Changing lender, changing owners or changing your deal?
A new mortgage secured on the title, an ownership transfer and a rate switch are different matters. Tell us what will change and provide the lender’s instruction. We can then explain the work involved in repayment, a new charge and any additional title arrangements.
Useful information for your first enquiry

Clear answers
Lloyds Bank: common conveyancing questions.
Can Gardner Champion help with a Lloyds Bank mortgage?
Lloyds Bank is covered by our lender directory. Send us the full offer or current account correspondence so we can check the lender, product, office and proposed legal work before confirming our appointment. An entry on the directory is not a guarantee of acceptance for every transaction.
Does every new mortgage deal need conveyancing?
A rate change with the same lender can differ from replacing the registered charge with a new lender. Adding or removing an owner may introduce separate title work. Tell us precisely what is changing before instructing a firm.
What will the Lloyds Bank conveyancing cost?
We agree the fee scope after reviewing the transaction. The quote should identify legal fees, VAT, applicable third-party costs and any additional work such as a company, leasehold title or ownership change. If your mortgage includes a legal-service incentive, check its terms before separately instructing a firm.
