When you've paid off your mortgage, it's essential to complete the process of redeeming your mortgage, vacating it, and releasing the charge over your property. This ensures that you have full, unencumbered ownership of your home. At Kempton Redman Law, we offer expert guidance through each step of this process, ensuring everything is handled efficiently and legally sound.
1. Mortgage Redemption
Mortgage redemption is the process of paying off your mortgage in full. When you reach this stage, we contact your lender for a redemption statement, which details the exact amount required to clear your mortgage. This figure includes the remaining balance, any accrued interest, and possibly early repayment charges.
2. Final Payment and Documentation
Once the payment is made, your lender will provide a mortgage discharge document, confirming that the mortgage has been fully paid. This document is crucial as it signifies the end of the lender's interest in your property.
3. Vacating the Mortgage
With the discharge document in hand, the next step is to vacate the mortgage. This involves applying to Land Registry to have the mortgage officially removed from your property's title. Essentially, vacating the mortgage means that the lender no longer has any claim or rights over your property.
4. Releasing the Charge
The final step is releasing the charge, which is the legal claim the lender had over your property as security for the mortgage. Land Registry will update the property records to reflect that the charge has been lifted, giving you full and clear ownership.
5. Legal Assistance
While the process might seem straightforward, it involves several legal and administrative steps that must be correctly followed to avoid complications. At Kempton Redman Law, our solicitors are experienced in handling mortgage redemption, vacating, and charge release processes. We ensure that all documents are correctly prepared and submitted, providing you with peace of mind.
