This charge is not dictated by Skipton but by your Penistone conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Skipton panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, 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 Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
