rEMORTGAGE - Does a mortgage deed have to be signed

Hi ,

I recently applied for a remortgage to a new deal with another lender. since then we have gone under offer on our home so i didnt return the mortgage deed to the lender (the deal is no longer available and not tfr'able to new property). they normally write to chase me every 2 weeks and the initial completion date has passed as i never sent back the docs.

i received yesterday a completion statement for 22nd June. I called to ask them to stop it, but suely if i havent signed the mortgage deed

a) they cannot place a charge on the property
b) should not proceed anyway...

seems a bit odd.

    I'm sure they shouldn't be able to do anything without a signed Mortgage Deed.
