Mortgage paid off

Good morning, I recently paid off my mortgage and would like to check if my previous mortgage lender has remove themselves from the title deeds please. Also, I need to take them off the deeds (if it is my my maiden name still) but if I need to change the title deeds to say the mortgage has been paid if the mortgage lender hasn't, I have the added complication that my mortgage was in my maiden name too therefore my id won't match. Firstly, can I check re my mortgage being removed please? Secondly, if it hasn't, what way round am I best processing a removal of mortgage and change of name (with the complication above)? Thank you

Good morning Bernadette - You can check the title details by obtaining a copy of the title register for a small fee - https://www.gov.uk/search-property-information-land-registry If you can provide me the title number or the property address (which I will delete from here for privacy reasons) then I can check if there has been a recent update.

Good afternoon, Thank you for your reply. The title deeds number is K623470. Many thanks, Bernadette

Good Morning Bernadette - many thanks although can you check that's the correct title number please?

Apologies! K623740. Many thanks, Bernadette

Morning Bernadette - the mortgage (legal charge) was removed from the register back in April. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-the-register-ap1/guidance-change-your-name-after-marriage-or-civil-partnership

Good morning, Thank you for this. How do I get 'proof' of this? If I ordered a couple of the title deeds, would it show this? Thank you, Bernadette

Good Morning - if you wish to check and confirm you can do so online for a fee. The register will simply refer to your ownership with no mention of the legal charge/mortgage https://www.gov.uk/search-property-information-land-registry
