I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Hermon conveyancing practitioner on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

- where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension.
