In 1985 the Building Societies Association (BSA) and the Law Society issued detailed advice to their respective members on this subject because of the difficulties which were apparent at that time.
This guidance refers to some of the circumstances which can produce errors and problems, and the consequences which this can have for the solicitor in the conveyancing transaction. It also suggests certain practical measures designed to reduce problems in this area. An extract of that guidance note (which is generic and not specific to Bank of Ireland Mortgages) on redemption statements is as follows:
This is a very similar situation to that of standing orders and direct debits. The CML's view is that if the lender does not notify the solicitor that it is assumed that the borrower's cheque will clear then, provided that the solicitor acts in good faith and without knowledge that the cheque would be or is likely to be dishonoured, the lender should seal the discharge.
Exceptions to this are if the lender:
The lender may have more than one loan secured on the property. For example, in addition to the principal mortgage, there could be a secured personal loan which is a regulated agreement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and/or a further advance conducted on a separate account basis. In such cases, there will be more than one account number.
On a sale, as all mortgage accounts will be repaid, multiplicity of accounts should not present a problem unless the solicitor does not know and is unable to specify every account and has no notice or cause to query the matter and the lender fails to cross-check the matter internally.
However, it is possible, for example, on certain re-mortgages, that it is the intention of the borrower and the lender that not all mortgages will be discharged and replaced. If so, when requesting the redemption statement, the solicitor should make it clear to the lender which mortgages the borrower wishes to redeem. The solicitor should inform the lender of any mortgages of which he is aware which are outstanding with the lender but which are not being redeemed. The solicitor should also quote all relevant account numbers if known as far as possible and ensure that the redemption statement received from the lender includes all the mortgages which are intended to be redeemed.
The lender should have its own internal cross-checking system but it is vital that the solicitor (who will, after all, be acting for the lender in most cases) is as clear as possible about the mortgage account(s) being redeemed. It is suggested that the solicitor should if possible, and time permits, send a copy of the redemption statement to the borrower to check agreement on the amount shown as due to the lender. Solicitors should be encouraged to ask for a statement at the earliest possible date.

I've just requested mortgage redemption statement from our current lender (Bank of Ireland Mortgages, in case that matters), and I have a figure for tomorrow, and a figure for 1st December. There is a payment due by direct debit on the 28th ish of November. the figure for repaying today is about £120 less than the 1st December figure, which apparently also takes into account the payment due. So if we paid today, we'd pay about £850 less altogether than if we paid on the 1st December. It makes sense for it being a bit more die to the interest, but surely it shouldn't be that much? How can the interest in three weeks exceed the monthly amount?

Lenders such as Bank of Ireland Mortgages have different requirements regarding final mortgage payments before redemption. If a mortgage is to be redeemed in the middle of a month, some lenders will still require the payment for the whole of that month. Other lenders exclude future payments when calculating redemption figures. What approach a lender will take will often be hidden in the small print. To avoid borrower clients either cancelling direct debits too early or not early enough, make sure that you extract the lender’s approach from the redemption statement or, if this is not clear, obtain written confirmation from lenders about what assumptions they have made in calculating the redemption figure.
Solicitors/conveyancers should make it their normal practice to check redemption figures Bank of Ireland Mortgages and indeed any lender and seek authorisation to make payment by sending clients completion statements before completion which set out the sums to be paid to discharge mortgages and the net proceeds of the transaction.
If you are a solicitor/conveyancer and you receive redemption statements, don’t just look at the redemption figure. Read the whole statement to ascertain exactly: which charge the figure relates to; whether it relates to all of the charges shown on the official copies; whether it covers all loans secured by the charge(s); and whether there may be other loans in respect of which it will be necessary to obtain further information. Send borrower clients copies of redemption statements so that they can check that all the mortgages/loans intended to be redeemed are included.
An electronic discharge is a discharge of a registered charge sent electronically by the lender’s (such as Bank of Ireland Mortgages) computer system direct to the Land Registry . For an electronic discharge, the HM Land Registry computer system makes a number of checks and, if everything is in order, cancels the charge entries automatically and, in most cases, immediately on receipt of the discharge. An electronic discharge is different to an e-DS1.
An electronic discharge can only be sent for a discharge of whole. All electronic discharges will be sent via secure virtual private networks. A number of security features have been incorporated to ensure that only lenders can send electronic discharges to us. An electronic discharge cancels the charge entries automatically and, in most cases, immediately. An electronic discharge does not require a separate formal paper application to discharge the charge, nor does it need any manual intervention. It is completely automated between various computer systems. HM Land Registry introduced electronic discharges because a system for automatically discharging registered charges is required for e-Conveyancing.
Electronic discharges are now supplemented by the introduction of e-DS1s. Both electronic discharges and e-DS1s currently operate as standalone applications for discharge and both will, in time, form part of an integrated e-conveyancing system. Electronic discharges will also overcome some of the problems associated with form DS1 and the former electronic notifications of discharge procedure, especially the inherent delays. Lenders who use electronic discharges are introducing new processes that automate and speed up the way they deal with redemptions and enable them to send an electronic discharge more quickly than a DS1 or an END.
The lender (including Bank of Ireland Mortgages) should indicate in their redemption statement that they will discharge the charge using an e-DS1. The conveyancer must tell them which charges are being redeemed and pay off the charge(s) in the normal way.
Once the lender has received the correct payment, they will arrange for an e-DS1 to be submitted. The lender can opt for a notification to be sent to them on completion of registration. In addition, if it is a borrower’s redemption, notification will be sent to the borrower on completion.
The Bank of Ireland Mortgages version of the UK Finance Mortgage Lenders' Handbook for conveyancers states that on the day of completion the conveyancer should send the discharge (if required) and remit repayment to Bank of Ireland Mortgages (see part 2).

The relevant part 2 section questions for Bank of Ireland Mortgages read: ‘17.2.1a Where do you send the discharge and repayment remittance?’ and ‘17.2.1b Does the lender send the discharge via a DS 1 form or direct with the Land Registry?’
