Your questions, step by step

Has your loan been repaid or are you selling your home? We check whether the mortgage still needs to be cancelled and what is required for this.

Why do I go to the notaire for this?

A repaid loan and a cancelled mortgage are different matters. The civil-law notary requests the bank's consent and arranges the required deed and cancellation.

How do I have a mortgage cancelled?
  1. Provide credit reference, bank details and reason for the cancellation.

  2. The office requests the statement and conditions for release.

  3. After the required consent, the deed and cancellation are followed up.

How does this proceed and how long does it take?

The bank's response and alignment with sale or refinancing determine the schedule. A personal proof of payment does not replace consent for cancellation.

Which documents should I provide to the notaire?
What does the notaire do and investigate?
  • Which registration must be cancelled?
  • Who must consent to this?
  • What statement and conditions does the bank require?
  • How are the deed and cancellation followed up?

We agree on which searches the office will conduct and which information you, your bank or another expert will provide.

What should I pay attention to before I sign?

Check which property and which registration are being released and whether the release is complete or partial.

Is a passage still unclear? Feel free to ask for an explanation with an example from your own situation. Only sign when you understand what you are agreeing to.

What else must I arrange afterwards?

Keep the statement. Request confirmation that the intended cancellation has been executed.

Which practical tips can help me?

Also report other credits at the same bank: a security may cover more than the loan you have just repaid.

What do these words mean?
Cancellation of a mortgage
the consent to erase a mortgage registration.
Cancellation
the formal erasure of that registration.
Where can I find more explanation or help?

You do not have to phrase your question in legal terms. Tell what concerns you, what you want to arrange and if an important date is approaching.

We will look together at the next step. We agree in advance on how the office will assist you and what costs are involved.
