An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are using a Waolstenholme conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established local energy assessors

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Waolstenholme property lawyer on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Principality 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 Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, 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 Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Principality mortgage has been paid off.
