It has come to my attention via my estate agent that my Kilburn Park property lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I check?

Having sold my house in Kilburn Park last March but my buyer keeps telephoning me to say their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your lawyer should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your lawyer should also confirm that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Kilburn Park.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Kilburn Park concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 asset 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 property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Kilburn Park is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kilburn Park are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kilburn Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kilburn Park may decide 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 residence.
Am I best advised to go with a Kilburn Park conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can perform the legal formalities but they are based 200miles away.
