Information for solicitors
This section of our website is specifically aimed at solicitors and conveyancers who are working on behalf of our customers.
Please see the information below relating to the most common requests from solicitors – including details of Lender Exchange, which we use to support redemption statement and title deed requests.
We will only respond to requests from solicitors who are registered with the Law Society and conveyancers who are registered with the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC).

The benefits to solicitors include:
- Quickly request and obtain a redemption statement via the portal, which can then be printed directly.
- Make a request for Title Deeds at the same time.
- See status updates on the progress of redemption statement requests.
- Submit requests to multiple lenders via the same portal.
- Help avoid costs from the time spent having to write or call.

Common solicitor requests & queries
Redemption statements are produced on request.
If the redemption statement includes a daily interest amount, you can use that figure to adjust the total amount required if the redemption payment will be received slightly before or after the stated redemption date. However, if the payment is to be made after the end of the month in which the statement was issued, a new redemption statement will be required.
All requests for redemption statements should be made through the Lender Exchange secure online portal.
In many cases, Lender Exchange is the quickest way to obtain a redemption statement and can help avoid costs from the time spent having to write or call.
Because the process is automated, most requests will be processed quickly, and statements are usually available to access via the portal within 24-48 hours. You can also request the Title Deeds at the same time.
When you use Lender Exchange to obtain the redemption statement, you must ensure that your request is made to Hessonite Mortgages.
If you’re unable to use Lender Exchange, you can request a redemption statement from us in writing to:

To obtain details of the correct amount required, please refer to the latest redemption statement, or check within the Lender Exchange portal.
We aim to apply the payment and confirm the mortgage is redeemed within 15 days after receipt of the funds.
We’ll send written confirmation to whoever makes the final redemption payment to us.
If the amount received on redemption isn’t enough to redeem the loan in full, we will apply the funds we have received as a Capital Repayment.
We’ll send written confirmation of the remaining balance still required to whoever makes the payment, usually ten working days after receiving the funds.
