I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Penyffordd property lawyer on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds 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 Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, 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 Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Penyffordd. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Penyffordd - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.
