Finally the sale completed on my house in Wisbech last April but our buyer keeps whats apping every few hours to moan that his solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your sale your solicitor should deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where appropriate, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers.

I have a renovated Georgian house in Wisbech. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wisbech and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Wisbech what are the most frequent lease problems?
Leasehold conveyancing in Wisbech is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the building
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Britannia all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.

How is the lease structured? How much is the ground rent and service charge? The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold.
