I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Yarmouth conveyancing practitioner on the Co-operative panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date.

We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
