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

You should be aware that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the salability of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with the length of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for 24 months in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Can you tell me if there are any major works in the planning that will add a premium to the service costs?
