Undertaking to furnish discharge – Land Registry certificate of charge
When a vendor’s solicitor gives an undertaking on the closing of a sale to furnish a discharge of a charge or other burden on the vendor’s folio or a vacated mortgage/charge, it is the view of this committee that this undertaking, by implication, extends to and includes the certificate of charge, if one has issued in respect of any such charge, and any other document necessary for the removal of the charge or burden from the folio.
