I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Llanfechain property lawyer on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your HSBC 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 HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, 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 HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Llanfechain bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Llanfechain conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The conveyancer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Llanfechain conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Llanfechain.
