On 18 September 2023, the Land Registry published an updated Practice Guide 31 on the discharge of charges.
There are two main changes:
– Section 6.7 (headed ‘What Land Registry issue on completion of an electronic discharge’) and Section 7.8 (headed ‘What Land Registry will issue on completion of registration of an e-DS1’) are deleted; and
– Section 7.5 (headed ‘What you should do if you act for a borrower’) has been changed.
These changes have been made because the Land Registry no longer sends redemption letters to borrowers.
