Finally the sale completed on my house in Rhiwbina last January yet the purchaser is calling daily to moan that her lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Rhiwbina conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Leeds Building Society?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Leeds Building Society done the valuation? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am purchasing a property in Rhiwbina. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
Given that your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Rhiwbina.
I have paid off my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Rhiwbina solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am purchasing a new build house in Rhiwbina with a loan from Halifax. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could impact my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
