The Bacup conveyancing firm handling our Bacup conveyancing has spotted a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer says that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action correct?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Bacup property lawyer on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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 Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
