Completed the sale of my flat in Wilford last November yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours complaining that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
After completion of your sale your conveyancer should send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Wilford.
My uncle passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Wilford. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Co-operative, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Wilford took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

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.
