What do i do?

If you’re selling, there are only a couple of things you need to do:

1. Notify your bank of the sale and sign the required form (Discharge Authority/Authority to Release Mortgage) This step is not required if you do not have a mortgage.
2. Provide your instructions as to the bank account into which you wish the settlement funds to be banked. You may be able to instruct your bank (the mortgagee) if you have a savings account with them, to take all funds at settlement, in which case they will attend to the banking of your funds into your account.
