Completed the sale of my flat in Alrewas last December yet the purchaser is SMS messaging daily to moan that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
After completion of your sale your lawyer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in Alrewas.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Alrewas?

An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Alrewas I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Alrewas suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Alrewas. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the invoice as usual because all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
