Do our deeds need updating before sale?

[Madmog]

We have recently paid off our mortgage and the mortgage company have notified us that they have informed the Land Registry they no longer have a charge over the property and the Land Registry have updated their records. We have been sent our Charge Certificate. Many years ago I know lenders used to issue a discharge Form 53 on redemption, but sounds like things are different now.

We are thinking about selling now. Do we need to get our Charge Certificate updated to a Land Certificate or is everything in place to be able to sell on straight away. Don't want to find a buyer, then have to update deeds before being able to sell.

it's all digitised now for registered land. YOu can check online that the LR have updated your record and removed the charge - costs a few pounds

Thanks for your reply. I wondered if things had changed as there was no mention of a discharge Form 53.
