I have today made my last payment due on mortgage with Newcastle Building Society. I assume I don't need a solicitor on the Newcastle Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Newcastle Building Society mortgage from the register. Newcastle Building Society,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

My ex -wife’s name is on the Newcastle Building Society mortgage of my property but not on the land registry. The apartment was transferred to me on our divorce many years ago by way of a sealed court order. Does my ex still have a say on the sale even though the land registry showing the property in my name alone? Will I be required to take her name of the Newcastle Building Society mortgage in order to sell?
In terms of the Newcastle Building Society mortgage, it is unusual that your ex-wife’s name remains on the mortgage but not on the title. It is conceivable that this is an oversight on the part of your conveyancers to ensure that her name was removed or even an administrative error on the part of Newcastle Building Society in failing to update their data. In any event, it should cause difficulty providing her name no longer appears on the Land Registry title and you have a court order ordering that the property is transferred to you.
