Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Brown Edge can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain changes or need the consent of another owner. Certain additions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Brown Edge conveyancer on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your HSBC 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 HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, 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:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
