I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Horbury conveyancer on the Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, 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:

2. where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
