It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Mill Hill. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Mill Hill relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent but this should only happen when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Mill Hill or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Mill Hill.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Mill Hill solicitor on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Santander 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 Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, 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 Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Mill Hill concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
