Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Hartford.

I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Hartford property lawyer on the Nationwide panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
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.

- where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
