I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Little Hulton property lawyer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
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

I own a leasehold flat in Little Hulton. Conveyancing was finalised in 2010. I have read on a number of consumer forums that I should not let the the remaining lease term to get too low. Why is that a problem?
Little Hulton leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - usually ninety nine years when they are first granted. However many flats in Little Hulton were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have under 80 years remaining. This may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to seventy five years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
