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 Hinckley and Rugby) on redemption statements is as follows:
Problems with redemption statements can arise for a number of reasons:
Some of the more common practical problems are outlined in the following paragraphs.
A difficulty arises if the mortgage payments are made by standing order and, shortly before completion, the borrower stops the payments without notice to the lender. There will be a shortfall if the lender assumed, without making this assumption clear that the next payment would be paid and made the redemption figure calculation accordingly. If this is the case, and the solicitor has acted in good faith and with no knowledge that a payment has been or is likely to be cancelled, the view of the CML is that the lender should seal the discharge. This is to avoid the solicitor being in breach of his undertaking to the buyer's solicitor. (The lender would then have to recoup the money from the borrower.)
This difficulty is less likely to arise where payments are made by direct debit because the lender is the originator of the debit and therefore has control over the raising of any future direct debits from the borrower's bank account. However, there is no guarantee that direct debits will be honoured and they may be returned on the grounds of insufficient funds or that the customer has closed his account or instructed his bank to cancel the direct debit.
Some lenders overcome this problem by excluding any future payments due when calculating the redemption figure. In other words, they 'freeze' the account balance at the day of the redemption calculation. The disadvantages of this are that (if the payment has not been cancelled) the borrower has to pay a higher redemption figure and the lender has to make a refund to the borrower after redemption.
An alternative is for the lender on the redemption statement to make it clear to the solicitor that it is assumed that the next payment will be made and that, if it is not paid, the mortgage will not be discharged until the balance is received. This gives the solicitor an early chance to address his and his borrower client's mind to this situation and to ensure that sufficient monies will be available to redeem the mortgage. Indeed, this would also serve as a reminder to the solicitor to warn the borrower client of the importance of continuing the payments in the normal way up to completion.

What is the difference between the process of requesting an initial redemption statement from Hinckley and Rugby and a final redemption statement?
Lenders such as Hinckley and Rugby 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 Hinckley and Rugby 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 Hinckley and Rugby) 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 Hinckley and Rugby) 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 Hinckley and Rugby 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 Hinckley and Rugby (see part 2). Conveyancers should check part 2 to see if Hinckley and Rugby discharge via a DS1 form or direct notification to the Land Registry. The relevant part 2 section questions for Hinckley and Rugby 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?’
