After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was maintained a mandatory part of selling a property.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Hermon conveyancing practitioner on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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:
- 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

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Hermon. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
