I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Southville solicitor on the Lloyds panel to remove 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 can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Southville bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Southville conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The property lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook section two requirements 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Southville. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
