I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Barnes property lawyer on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your UBS 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 UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your UBS mortgage has been paid off.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Barnes.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Barnes I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Barnes in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
