Mortgage Release Help

Abads

Hello, We have recently paid off our mortgage at the beginning of Feb. We are currently in a chain to purchase a house and sell ours. we are waiting for the lender to send our mortgage discharge form to the land registry. I spoken them today and explained the situation. They are hoping to get this done in the next few days, because of our moving situation. They said for my solicitor to contact them once this has been done to get some form of confirmation
 My question is once the discharge form is sent to the land registry, can my solicitor request  a copy of the form sent to the land registry so we can proceed with our house exchange. Will the lender send something to confirm that they are happy for the mortgage to be released? Even though it hasn't been updated on the land registry?

Haven't you spoken to your solicitor about this? Unfortunately you've probably complicated matters by redeeming in advance of completion rather than leaving everything to your solicitor.
