I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Culcheth property lawyer on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Leeds Building Society mortgage has been paid off.

About to purchase maisonette in Culcheth.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Culcheth I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Culcheth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
