I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Saltash conveyancer on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

  1. but are not moving to another property

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Saltash. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
