Hello,

We are just in the process of remortgaging changing from Santander to Tesco.

We applied to Tesco giving an estimated settlement figure but since then we have made another payment to Santander making that settlement figure incorrect.
We are completing this week so how is the settlement figure adjusted?
Do we need a new agreement from Tesco to reflect the new figure even though we signed the offer based on the original figure?
Hope this question makes sense-it does in my head:)

Thanks
S.

    Your solicitor will ask for a redemption figure assuming you complete on a certain date.

    Any under/overpayments will be settled in the process. The actual balance is a moving target that will be determined on the day that the old mortgage is discharged i.e. paid off.
