Delayed Completion & Remedies: Which actions are included in remedies for delayed completion?

• A. Send account to client
• B. Discharge mortgage
• C. Register land change
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

When completion is delayed, the safeguards a solicitor can take cover financial, title, and post‑completion steps to protect the client and keep the process moving. Sending an account to the client provides a clear record of funds held, costs incurred, and any money due, so the client understands their position and possible remedies. Discharging the mortgage is about clearing any existing charge on the property so that title can transfer cleanly once completion occurs. Registering the land change is the post‑completion task of updating the Land Registry to reflect the new owner and any interests, which remains necessary even if completion is postponed until the issues are resolved. Taken together, these actions form the remedies available for delayed completion.
