When borrowers wish to pay off their mortgage with Bank of Ireland, they must request a redemption statement from Bank of Ireland, which will set out the exact amount, including any applicable fees and interest due, to fully repay their mortgage.
Specific problems pertaining to redemption statements and the discharge of mortgages can slow down the conveyancing process. In some cases solicitors and conveyancers can be sued for breaching undertakings given to discharge a mortgage, which causes concern to conveyancing professionals and their insurers.
When requesting a redemption statement from Bank of Ireland, a conveyancer should quote the expected repayment date and whether you are acting for the borrower or have the borrower's authority to request the redemption statement in addition to the information. You should request this from Bank of Ireland a minimum 5 working days ahead of the expected redemption date. You must quote all the borrower's mortgage account or roll numbers of which you are aware when requesting the repayment figure. As a conveyancer or solicitor one should only request a redemption statement from Bank of Ireland where you you have been retained by the borrower or have the borrower's written authority to request a redemption figure.
To guard against fraud please ensure that if payment is made by cheque then the redemption cheque is made payable to Bank of Ireland and quote the mortgage account number or roll number and name of the borrower.
On the day of completion lawyers should send the discharge (if required) by Bank of Ireland and your remittance for the repayment to Bank of Ireland. Check part 2 UK Finance Mortgage Lenders' Handbook for conveyancers for Bank of Ireland to see if Bank of Ireland discharge via a DS1 form or direct notification to the Land Registry.
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) on redemption statements is as follows:
Most lenders will not seal the discharge (this expression to include sealing the vacating receipt on a mortgage deed or sealing of Form DS1) until they receive the redemption money. This leaves the buyer's solicitor with a problem in that he has to be satisfied that the mortgage will be discharged and that he will obtain the receipted mortgage or Land Registry Form DS1. This problem is solved by the use of the solicitor's undertaking.
On completion, the seller's/lender's solicitor will provide the buyer's solicitor with a written undertaking to redeem the mortgage(s) in a form recommended by The Law Society similar to that set out below:
"In consideration of your today completing the purchase of ......... WE HEREBY UNDERTAKE forthwith to pay over to ............ Bank of Ireland the money required to redeem the mortgage/legal charge dated .......... and to forward the receipted mortgage/legal charge/form DS1 to you as soon as it is received by us from ............Bank of Ireland."
Before completion of a sale, the lender's/seller's solicitor will obtain a redemption statement calculated to the date of redemption. He will sometimes request the daily figure for interest which will be added if completion is delayed. If the lender supplies an incorrect redemption statement, the solicitor is likely to forward insufficient money to redeem the mortgage. The lender might be unwilling to discharge the mortgage and, if the solicitor is not holding more funds on behalf of the borrower, the solicitor would be in breach of his undertaking.

Lenders such as Bank of Ireland 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 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) 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) 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 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 (see part 2). Conveyancers should check part 2 to see if Bank of Ireland discharge via a DS1 form or direct notification to the Land Registry. The relevant part 2 section questions for Bank of Ireland 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?’
