We had selected solicitors based in Ceredigion on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Clydesdale but by your Ceredigion conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Ceredigion property lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, 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 Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
