I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Hampden Pk conveyancer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register.

- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
