Having sold my house in Axbridge last May yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours complaining that his solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?

Where relevant, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Axbridge.
There is lots of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Axbridge but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Axbridge
Do not opt for the cheapest Axbridge conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Axbridge. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. A few days later, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Intending to buy a flat in Axbridge. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Axbridge solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

If a Axbridge property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds.
