Confusion over completion & redemption statements

emma_spaghetti

Hi

Can anyone help me please - does our solicitor owe us money for our remortgage, and if so how much?

On completion they made a £3 payment to us, which I don't understand and haven't replied to me in terms of discrepancies between our redemption and completion statements.

We made a payment of £315.17 before completion.

The mortgage applied for was £90k.

A redemption statement is the amount needed to repay existing mortgage.

Completion statement shows all ins and outs so includes solicitor fees, searches as well as new mortgage in and redemption figure for old mortgage. Not sure where the £3 comes from on those statements.

Did you send them money at some point? The completion statement is showing a debit balance due by you.

Hello, yes we made a payment of £315.37 prior to completion.

I guess they spent £3 less than anticipated on searches / office copy entries. So you get it back. What makes you think they might owe you anything else?

I think I've confused myself! I knew we had applied for £90k, and saw the £89,818.51 on the redemption statement, which is what threw me I think.

Your existing mortgage was around £90k. Did you not apply for extra?

It looks like they had to pay Yorkshire £89783 to repay existing mortgage and new mortgage was £89980.
