I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a New Ferry solicitor on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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 Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I acquired a house in New Ferry last 24/4/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It is part of a development site and my solicitor told me that it can take one year to complete the registration formalities. I have spoken with HM Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
It is your conveyancer that you must contact in order to satisfy any issues which have arisen as part of the registration process for your New Ferry property. Normal New Ferry conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the seller's property lawyer that they will help resolve any requisition raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
