mortgage ending.

what is the quickest easiest and cheapest way to pay for the redemption of a mortgage coming to an end? Is it by paying the building society to do the legal costs or by employing our own legal people?

    I think you've had no answers as you're question is a bit ambiguous, do you mean you are paying the mortgage off? If you are just repaying it I don't think there are any legals required....

    If you are paying off the mortgage in full from the proceeds of the endowment policy(ies) then as Sammyjammy says, you don't need to employ a solicitor.

    Contact your lender to find out how much is outstanding and send them a cheque for this amount.

    If it's a High Street lender you could just go into the branch to get the figures and pay it off.
