Check a request for early release of a stakeholder deposit against mortgages and caveats
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the contract, the title search and the vendor's notice, list any condition still running for the purchaser, whether title has been accepted, each mortgage particular in the notice, each caveat on the search, and the price against the amounts secured. Count 28 days from receipt of the particulars only as an arithmetic note. Do not write the response.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether section 27 allows a release, whether the particulars are accurate, whether the price will discharge the mortgages, and what is said within 28 days. Silence is treated as satisfaction only after the lawyer has decided that the section applies.
