Having sold my house in Nailsworth last May but the buyer keeps calling daily to moan that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
After completion of your house sale your conveyancer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers.

There is unlikely to be post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Nailsworth.
My wife and I have a semi-detached Georgian property in Nailsworth. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Nailsworth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Nailsworth benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
