Private mortgages cover loans secured on residential property where a lender takes a charge over the borrower’s home, typically a registered legal charge or mortgage deed. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates the loan terms, investigates title and any existing charges, coordinates registration with HM Land Registry, and advises on priority, repayments, and default remedies. They help you understand consequences if you miss payments, and guide you through registration, discharge on repayment, and any enforcement steps if the loan goes into arrears.

“We used Susan Cheesewright and her team for the sale of my mothers house. We obtained a number of quotes and looked at online reviews. The reviews for Paul Robinson Solicitors were very good and their quoted price was also very good (the various quotes we received from solicitors varied a lot, which surprised us) The whole process ran smoothly, but what was outstanding was the level of communication from Susan and her team. If I telephones someone was always available and replies to all my emails were quick. I was kept informed of the status of the sale at all times. Many thanks.”

“I have the highest opinion of Ian Cranefield as he was the only one of three solicitors that actually answer my question and did not tell me that I should have done something that could have put my home in a precarious position.”
