Should I remortgage with my existing bank to avoid paperwork? DAVID HOLLINGWORTH replies
I'm remortgaging for the first time and am set to switch from my current mortgage with Halifax to NatWest in September. However, it's proving more taxing than I thought. I applied for the mortgage and had the offer, but am now faced with a huge amount of admin which I didn't expect. I've just had a baby and this is hard to manage. The lawyers that have been assigned my case have been sending email after email relating to various documents and costs. They say I need to pay £90 to deal with a Land Registry anti-fraud restriction on the title deeds. They want me to sign and witness a mortgage deed and to also send proof of ID and address that have been certified by a solicitor. On top of that they need me to sign and return their terms of business and fill in a 20 page questionnaire which requires me repeating most of the stuff I have already filled in for my application. They have also sent emails requesting a copy of the lease. Would it make sense to just stick with Halifax and move to a new product with them to avoid this mountain of paperwork? Someone told me lenders sometimes offer preferential rates to their existing customers. Is that true? David Hollingworth replies: A mortgage is likely to be the single biggest cost that you face each month, so it makes sense to keep it as low as possible. Failing to be proactive could easily result in you spending thousands of pounds more than necessary each year. Most deals will revert onto a higher variable rate at the end of any incentive period, such when a two or five-year fixed rate ends. This rate could easily be two or three per cent higher than the rates on offer elsewhere. Shopping around for a better deal is important and with thousands of different products you should include all options, whether from another lender or your existing lender. I'll explain what the process involves, whether you switch to another bank or building society or stay put. Remortgaging to another lender: What it involves The process of remortgaging to a new lender is in essence a simple one, but if you're not prepared for what's coming your way it can feel like a lot to take on board. As well as applying for the mortgage itself, there will also be a valuation of the property by the lender and some legal work to put the new mortgage into effect. In theory the valuation and legal work could add more cost, although many lenders will often provide incentives to counter those costs, providing a free basic valuation and help with the basic remortgage legal work. That could either be through the lender's nominated solicitor, or through a cashback on completion designed to cover all or most of the cost of using your own solicitor. While basic legal work is covered, there can be other costs depending on the circumstances. Leasehold title is certainly something that can add cost, as the freeholder may charge a fee for providing any necessary responses to the solicitor's enquiries. The solicitor will ask you for a copy of the lease in an effort to speed things up and potentially limit charges from the freeholder. The anti-fraud restriction you have been asked to pay for is something that you will have opted into. It means a solicitor has to sign off any attempted change to your property's information on the Land Registry. However, it does also mean that there's a need for enhanced verification of ID, leading to the need for solicitor certification and added administration costs. Finally, there will be a need for some form filling and there could be a feeling of déjà vu. There's plenty of moving parts in what is a relatively straightforward switch and that can lead to duplication of requests. What about a product transfer? It's always worth considering what your existing lender will offer when shopping around, and lenders have got a lot better in offering customers new deals to switch to. It's understandable that, with the arrival of your new baby, this admin may all feel too much when you have so much on your plate. Staying with the existing lender and switching on a like-for-like basis with no change to amount or term won't require a new affordability check or proof of income. There's also no legal work, as you're not taking a new mortgage with a different lender and are simply switching rate. That will reduce the paperwork but also the choice, so you need to consider the rate compared to the NatWest deal and others in the market. Some lenders can offer existing customers rates on par or even a little better than for new customers, but that doesn't mean they are the best on the market. You will need to specifically check what Halifax will offer, as it's a lender that offers rates set depending on the individual customer. Advice will help Using an adviser will offer benefits whichever path you go down and help cut through some of the jargon. They will also be able to consider other elements, such as reducing the term or overpaying to cut your total interest bill. That may not be high on your priority list now but could be relevant in coming years. Importantly, they will be able to access the Halifax product transfer rates and give a clear comparison to the NatWest deal and others on the market. This will give you clarity of the cost, which will help you decide whether the remortgage option will offer bigger savings and potentially make the form-filling worthwhile.

Hugh James Planning Team Marks 'Transformational' Year of Growth
Top 100 UK Law Firm Hugh James is marking a 'significant milestone' in the evolution of its planning practice. Since the appointment of Alex Madden as Partner and head of planning and environmental in July 2024, the planning team has grown in both size and scope. The firm says it now has new clients, complex projects, and key hires under its belt. 'It's been an action-packed 12 months,' Alex said. 'We've supported the firm's commercial property team on standout deals like Rockwool's new manufacturing base at Peddimore and Pobl's land acquisition at Cardiff's Plas Dŵr. We've also facilitated critical conversations around housing delivery in Wales, including a roundtable with Lee Waters MS focused on unlocking social housing.' The team now includes Senior Associate, Hannah Mannion, who specialises in energy and renewables, and soon to be assistant solicitor Ben Bowen who will qualify in September 2025. The team's growth over the past year has significantly boosted their capacity to support the firm's national housebuilder client base across both contentious and non-contentious work, it said. The introduction of mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) for certain developments, updates to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) – including the new 'grey belt' classification – and proposed legislative reforms via the Planning and Infrastructure Bill all signal an increasing demand for commercial planning advice, said the firm. Further changes are in the pipeline, with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) publishing a working paper proposing reforms to site thresholds in the planning system to better support housing delivery across different types of sites and launching a consultation on proposed reforms to planning committees. Defra is also consulting on BNG implementation for NSIPs and minor, medium and brownfield developments. Alex believes these developments only underscore the importance of having a strong, agile legal team in place. 'Our expansion means we're not just meeting our clients' needs – we're anticipating them,' he said. 'We're now able to offer a cradle-to-grave service that ensures continuity, clarity and strategic input at every stage of a project. That's a win-win for clients new and old.' The team is advising on significant residential schemes in the South West. These include the landmark Selwood Garden Community comprising 1,700 homes, a major mixed-use development of around 400 units at Nailsea within the Green Belt, and a residential-led scheme at Trull delivering 125 new homes. Recent client wins include Wain Estates, Wain Homes, and Land Value Alliances. This strategic growth reflects Hugh James' wider vision for its planning and environmental team, and delivers on the ambitions set out when Alex was first appointed, the firm said. 'We knew that planning and environmental law was becoming a bigger priority for our clients,' said Alex. 'That's why we invested in building a market-leading team, and now we're delivering on that promise.'

Major bank to make big change to 47 accounts in weeks impacting thousands – do you need to act?
A MAJOR building society will make a big change to 47 savings accounts in weeks. Nationwide is slashing the rates on several of its savings accounts. 1 The moves comes after rate-setters on the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee cut the base rate from 4.5% to 4.25%. This was the fourth interest rate cut since 2020. The base rate is used by lenders to determine the interest rates offered to customers on savings and borrowing costs. A base rate cut can mean that mortgage rates are lowered, which is good news for homeowners. But it can mean that savers lose out as the interest they earn on savings will drop. As the base rate falls some lenders, including Nationwide, have chosen to lower the interest rates on some savings accounts. That includes its Triple Access Saver account which will see interest lowered from 1.95% AER to 1.80% come July 1. AER, or Annual Equivalent Rate, is used to show you what you could earn from a savings account over a year. Its Cash Child Trust Fund will also have its interest lowered. The rate will be lowered from 3.55% AER to 3.30% next month. NatWest to close 53 bank branches in fresh blow to UK high street – see if your local is affected Meanwhile, the interest on its Help To Buy ISA will be lowered from 2.90% to 2.70% You can take a look at the full list of account changes below If you are not happy with the change, it is always worth looking at other providers to see if you can get a better deal. Websites such as MoneyFacts share the best offers on the market for savings and other types of bank accounts. OTHER BANKING CHANGES Nationwide is not the only bank lowering the interest on some of its deals. is slashing the rates on 58 of its savings accounts. That includes its Five Access Saver which will have its interest rates lowered from 3.77% AER to 3.55% come June 27. Meanwhile, Vault customers will see interest rates on their account from 3.80% AER to 3.65% come June 26. The change will take place from June 23, but dates can vary from offer to offer. Online bank Monzo also lowerd the intertest on its Personal Instant Access Savings Pots from from 3.50% AER to 3.25% AER. SAVING ACCOUNT TYPES THERE are four types of savings accounts fixed, notice, easy access, and regular savers. Separately, there are ISAs or individual savings accounts which allow individuals to save up to £20,000 a year tax-free. But we've rounded up the main types of conventional savings accounts below. FIXED-RATE A fixed-rate savings account or fixed-rate bond offers some of the highest interest rates but comes at the cost of being unable to withdraw your cash within the agreed term. This means that your money is locked in, so even if interest rates increase you are unable to move your money and switch to a better account. Some providers give the option to withdraw, but it comes with a hefty fee. NOTICE Notice accounts offer slightly lower rates in exchange for more flexibility when accessing your cash. These accounts don't lock your cash away for as long as a typical fixed bond account. You'll need to give advance notice to your bank - up to 180 days in some cases - before you can make a withdrawal or you'll lose the interest. EASY-ACCESS An easy-access account does what it says on the tin and usually allows unlimited cash withdrawals. These accounts tend to offer lower returns, but they are a good option if you want the freedom to move your money without being charged a penalty fee. REGULAR SAVER These accounts pay some of the best returns as long as you pay in a set amount each month. You'll usually need to hold a current account with providers to access the best rates. However, if you have a lot of money to save, these accounts often come with monthly deposit limits.
