My wife and I are due to complete buying a house in Clevedon but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller of £2k taking the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement but Santander will not permit this. Should they have been notified?

Any property lawyer that is on the Santander approved list is required to inform Santander of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the reduction to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Clevedon.

If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Coventry BS mortgage has been paid off.
