Completed the sale of my flat in Ossett last November yet the purchaser is texting every few hours to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your conveyancer should forward the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Ossett.
The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Ossett 5 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ossett is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Ossett are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ossett you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ossett 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 residence.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Ossett. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as normal as all ground rent and service charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
