Discharge of Security

Our Property and Conveyancing department is led by partner, Robert Macduff-Duncan.  Robert was admitted as a solicitor in 2004, joined the firm in 2018 and was assumed as a partner in 2021.

Once you have paid off your mortgage in full, you will usually require to discharge the security held by your bank or lender. This process involves drafting a document which is then signed by your bank or lender to confirm that they no longer have a claim over your property. This document is then registered with the Registers of Scotland.

For a basic discharge of mortgage security, the fee may be £150 plus VAT of £30.

The only outlay is a charge of £80 payable to the Registers of Scotland.

Client Comments


I'm so very grateful  to Sally McCartney for all the service, support, and advice she has given me over the past two years. I'm in no doubt that without  her valuable expertise I wouldn't be in the same position as I am now. I feel a lot more reassured, informed and confident.  Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
