Planning on purchasing a flat with a mortgage with MPowered Mortgages.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

My ex -wife’s name is on the MPowered Mortgages mortgage of my property but not on the land registry. The apartment was transferred to me on our divorce many years ago by way of a sealed court order. Does my ex still have a say on the sale even though the land registry showing the property in my name alone? Will I be required to take her name of the MPowered Mortgages mortgage in order to sell?
As regards the MPowered Mortgages mortgage, it is unusual that your ex-wife’s name remains on the mortgage but not on the title. It is conceivable that this is an oversight on the part of your conveyancers to ensure that her name was removed or even an administrative error on the part of MPowered Mortgages in failing to update their data. In any event, it should cause difficulty providing her name no longer appears on the Land Registry title and you have a court order ordering that the property is transferred to you.
