I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Salcombe conveyancer on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nationwide 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 Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I got the keys to my apartment on 12 June and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Salcombe said it would be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Salcombe particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Salcombe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Salcombe I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Salcombe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
