Having sold my house in Buckden last January but our buyer keeps texting me complaining that her conveyancer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your conveyancer should forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Buckden.

3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Buckden concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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.
