Solicitors Cost of Second Charge on Property

Sleepy_2

Could someone let me know the approx cost of solicitors fees to register a second charge on a property.

Why not do it yourself if cost is an issue?
Using a solicitor means you get his/her legal expertise and not just filling in a form and sending it off.

The costs will depend on the work involved and nobody here can give a definitive answer IMO.

I've had a look online at the Land Registry. I think its a CH1 but I'm not too sure!

I was just seeing if anyone knew if a Solicitor would just be able to say its Form XYZ - take less than an hour and will be about £100, etc.

Who is the second charge with. We have a second charge and didn't need a solicitor, the lender done it automically.

By the way the form is an AP1

Is the Lender letting you deal with this without a solicitor?

To register, its form AP1 as gail39 says and normally the Lender would attend to registration - if its a private charge then send the AP1 to the relevant Land Registry with the Mortgage Deed/Legal Charge and certified copy. If you are not represented, you will have to send full ID now as the forms have just changed.

If the lender wants a Form CH2 registering, which means any further advances made by the same lender in the future are secured along with their original charge, then send this with your application.
