Informing Building Society

Options
Hello Everyone,

I am selling my house and paying off my mortgage with the proceeds.
When am I obliged legally to inform the lender of the sale?
Do I tell them at the start of the process, or when I have had an offer?
Or do I wait until I have the money in the bank?
My mortgage is a Together mortgage from the Northern Rock.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Regards
K

  • Your solicitor will deal with all of the correspondence with your bs. He/she will request a redemption figure in advance of completion, then settle your mortgage and pay any balance over to you.
