Battrick Clark Solicitors of Bristol offer all the help and legal advice you need if you’re looking to change your present mortgage – at a reasonable and competitive rate.
- Battrick Clark offer a fixed fee to complete the legal side of the transaction
- We work with a wide range of lenders
- We help you achieve a successful remortgage
What is remortgaging?
A remortgage involves creating a new charge on a property and discharging any existing charge. This is perhaps the simplest legal definition of remortgaging. But how does it work in practice, and what are the reasons for it?
Remortgaging your home essentially involves switching from one mortgage to another. This may mean moving to a new mortgage offered by the same lender, or to one offered by a different lender.
Common reasons for wanting to remortgage include:
- Reducing the rate of repayments to a more affordable level when funds are tight
- Benefiting from a lower interest rate offer
- Putting down a lump sum repayment that reduces the total burden of outstanding financial obligations.
Whatever your remortgage involves, your building society, bank or other lender needs a solicitor to act on its behalf, in order to ensure that its legal position is protected. We will act as mortgage solicitors on behalf of your lender as well as acting for you.
We quote a fixed fee up front.
Questions and answers
How long does it take?
It depends on how quickly the lender or building society can proceed and whether there are any title or other issues with the property.
What do you need from me?
We need:
- Specific instructions
- Means of identification (to comply with money laundering regulations) – passport, driving licence, etc.

We moved house during the pandemic and used Battrick Clark for conveyancing for both our sale and our purchase. Throughout the process Emma was responsive, helpful and really made a difficult time much easier. She was superb in finally getting us to our new home. I really hope we won’t be moving again any time soon but when we do, we’ll certainly use Battrick Clark. And in the meantime, we’ll be enthusiastically recommending the firm!

Ruth Sampson was excellent through our purchase and sale. She kept us updated throughout the process and made sure we had exchanged and completed as we requested. I would highly recommend using Battrick Clark for any conveyancing needs. Ruth was brilliant!
Great value and great service. Andrea took care of everything and stood by us during one failed sale and into the next more successful deal. Really proactive and good attention to detail. I would strongly recommend them and would use them again in the future. Thanks very much and well done!
Myself and my partner recently bought our first house through Battrick Clark and [they] made the whole experience so easy for us. [They] helped us through every step of the process and we couldn’t of asked for a better service! I would highly recommend and use Summer again.
Dealt with my case a few years ago when I had to take my ex off of my mortgage. Very quick and reliable and professional
Thank you Kaye Taylor of Battrick Clark.
Buying your first home is never easy, you’ve got estate agents, mortgage providers, seller solicitors & surveyors to deal with. We had Kaye dealing with our purchase. Kaye was brilliant, really efficient, kept us up-to-date and argued our corner when needed. Thanks again, Dave & Em.
Highly recommended. [The solicitors] are excellent in their communication and execution of my instruction to them. They dealt professional[ly] with a South-African attorney who handled the sale of my property there.
Fantastic experience using Battrick Clark for both my BTL company purchases. All emails and calls were responded to promptly, our Solicitor Ruth Sampson had a very professional and proactive approach which resulted in both transactions going through really quickly. Would highly recommend this firm particularly our Solicitor Ruth Sampson, she was brilliant in every aspect.
[Our solicitor] was really helpful and efficient all the way through and was also very easy to contact. I highly recommend her and the firm.

Andrea Jefferies is an astounding solicitor and a joy to work with… I would definitely recommend this firm after having multiple experiences.
Used Battrick Clark for both my partner’s divorce and conveyancing when we recently moved – were great on both occasions.
The team at Battrick Clark are all absolute superstars. I recommend them to all my clients for their conveyancing for NEXA Bristol and they never fail to provide a 5* service.
Battrick Clark and especially Kaye Taylor provided an excellent service and helped us complete our house deal on schedule with minimal fuss. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for property solicitors.
We have just completed on our house sale and purchase. Despite set backs and buyers from hell, Sinead Jest from Battrick Clark was the most pleasant and efficient person I have dealt with. She was always on top of matters and helped to ensure that the process went to completion. I would have no hesitation in recommending her
I had the difficult task of selling my Mum’s house when she went into Care. Battrick Clark, and Andrea in particular were professional and knowledgeable, a mere 8 weeks from start to completion. Andrea was a pleasure to deal with, keeping me informed every step of the way and ensuring that everything was in order, resulting in a smooth and trouble free sale.
I used Battrick Clark for the sale of my house and the purchase of the new one. Kaye Taylor handled both the sale and purchase. She replied promptly to emails and returned all my calls. She gave me as much time as I needed, and was patient with my many questions. I would definitely recommend them. And the friendly receptionist answered all my calls immediately.
Andrea was great and I would highly recommend this firm. Their service was profession, friendly, efficient and helpful throughout my conveyancing process.
I am incredibly grateful to Sinead Jest for her help over the last year trying to buy a house. At one point she saved us nearly £50k by identifying an issue in the deeds and despite repeated communications and issues never queried the cost and when some extra work came up still refused to charge any more. I am so happy to have found a firm I can trust. They may not be the cheapest outright but I can never thank Sinead enough for her help and they’ll be my first choice in future.
Used this firm to conduct the sale of my property via “moneysaver”. Great value. Great service. Great communications. I live Overseas and this was no obstacle in a difficult transfer. They were very helpful, polite and nothing seemed to be a problem and always patient. I had the pleasure of Andrea Jefferies conducting my business highly professional, hard working and most affable. Thank you.
RECOMMENDED without a second thought !!
Andrea was just superb throughout a relatively complex and sometimes fraught series of conveyancing transactions. Calm, thoughtful, wonderfully responsive, Andrea provided great counsel and advice. Highly recommended.
I have used Battrick Clark for over 17 years for various property purchases. In the last couple of years Ellie Green has dealt with the transactions and has been extremely efficient. Responses to emails and queries are turned around within 24 hours, unheard of for most lawyers. The only hold up you will get in a house purchase will be from the other side.
Highly recommend.
I’ve used Battrick Clark on several occasions for property sales, despite not living in the area. Andrea Jefferies is by far the most efficient solicitor I have ever dealt with.
I have no hesitation in recommending.
Andrea at Battrick Clark went above and beyond my expectations, I live in the USA and they helped me with the sale of my property in Bristol. Good communication and customer service all round even though I was in another country. Highly recommended, good job.
We have just exchanged on our purchase whilst using Battrick Clark Solicitors. We had Sinead Jest working on our behalf who is a trainee solicitor, and who was absolutely brilliant. Replied to emails and queries so quickly, and always did her best to help us throughout the whole process. We can’t thank her enough. She was absolutely lovely.
I used these guys for a re-mortgage and transfer of equity for a shared ownership property. Not only were Battrick Clark competitive on price, the service I received from Andrea, going the extra mile to deliver, keep in touch with status updates were beyond my expectations. Would strongly recommend.
Excellent service as always Andrea Jeffries is the most efficient conveyancer I have ever dealt with. Highly recommended
I used Battrick Clark to sell my house and they were brilliant. The buyer was a nightmare as were the estate agents so Andrea at Battrick Clark took control of the whole thing and really helped resolve what was a nightmare of a sale. They even had fixed fees with no sale – no fee arrangement. I can’t fault the service at all.
We really appreciated Ruth Sampson at Battrick Clark hard work to successfully get us to completion. Especially difficult when we instructed her at the start of lockdown! She made it all very straight forward and we really appreciated the attention to detail and all the communication. We think you are brilliant!
We used Battrick as conveyancer’s for our house purchase. Emma was professional, responsive, helpful and had a finger on the pulse at all times. Emma really made the process a lot less stressful and kept us updated at every stage of the process. I couldn’t recommend Battrick Clark enough.
