    They said they thought i would be paying this amount i don't understand but if i have paid 24 installments on a 2 year fixed fixed rate and they have give a outstanding balance to my solicitor i thought that would be it.I asked the solicitor is that the transaction complete and he said yes.thanks
  • it could be the redemption administration charge - or depending v much on the size of your mortgage it could be an early repayment charge. it is your solicitors duty to check you are not within your early repayment charge period before completing. I honestly could not say for definite what this is so you best call your solicitor monday and check, I am a little puzzled though, because it is normally not possible to complete without full funds.

    It could also be the difference in the number of days between the final payment and when you remortgaged.

    i.e. your mortgage payment is normally £840 and you remortgaged 15 days into the month and owed 15 days interest.

    As MM says, your solicitor will know.
