Hello, I am hoping some will know the answer from experience

I have changed mortage provider and on 4th July my mortage changes from Santander to First Direct - FD said I make first payment on 4th August . At present I pay Santander on 5th each month so June 5th was my last payment I believe

Enact said everything is in order and they will get final redemption very close to draw down date as redemption figures from Santander are only valid for 7 days - I did nightlight my fixed rate product and therefor ERC ends on 3rd hence 4th being completion date

First Direct will settle my current mortage based upon the redemption figure from current lender and this will happen the day before my normal scheduled payment to Santander - just in case I will not cancel my DD with Santander so I am expecting that I will have a DD payment leave my current account on the 5th July to Santander, as it is so close to redemption date it will process, but my mortage would already have been redeemed

Would I be right in assuming that any payment made after redemption is technically and over payment and this will get returned to me automatically within a few weeks by Santander ??
