Finally the sale completed on my house in Walton on the Hill last April but my buyer keeps telephoning daily to moan that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

My fiance and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Walton on the Hill with a homeloan from The Mortgage Works.We would like to retain our Walton on the Hill conveyancing practitioner but The Mortgage Works informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a The Mortgage Works panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the The Mortgage Works approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Mortgage Works

I am an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a property in Walton on the Hill which is to be marketed. The bungalow has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that many purchasers will insist that it is done before they will proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems sensible to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
