Do I need a lawyer to assist with a remortgage or equity release in Jersey?
You will require a lawyer to provide advice on the security documents, the charge over your property and a certificate of title to the lenders Jersey lawyers. The certificate of title is provided to certify the property is suitable as security for the loan.
What does a ‘charge’ over property mean?
When banks and other lenders provide you with a loan, they are likely to require security for their loan. As such, for freehold or flying freehold property, a lender will require that you sign documents that permit them to register a charge against your property in the Royal Court. This will mean that if and when you decide to sell your property you will be obligated to pay the bank off first. A similar process occurs with Jersey share transfer property. In such a case, the bank will secure and hold your share certificates until you repay your loan with them.
Can Parslows advise on whether the lender's loan is suitable for our purposes?
We are not licenced to advise on such issues. If you have queries of this nature, you should speak to your bank or independent financial advisor. Our advice is limited to advising on the security you are providing to the bank for the loan.
