Completed the sale of my flat in Thorpe St Andrew last June yet the purchaser is calling me complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your conveyancer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where relevant, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew.

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 property 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.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Thorpe St Andrew conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
