Having sold my house in Benllech last September yet the purchaser is texting me complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

My grandfather passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Benllech. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Skipton, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then Skipton will require that you use a conveyancer on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Skipton mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am helping my niece sell her property in Benllech. Does the conveyancer arrange an EPC or do I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory element of selling a house. An energy assessment should be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that law firms normally organise. If you are using a Benllech conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established local energy assessors
We are due to move property in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Benllech. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this can only take place when the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Benllech or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Benllech.
My solicitor has informed me that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Benllech conveyancing?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Benllech completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Benllech is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Benllech are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Benllech you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Benllech may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
