Having sold my house in Woodthorpe last June but our buyer keeps calling me to say her lawyer needs to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?

Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also confirm that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers solicitors.

I have instructed a Woodthorpe conveyancer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Woodthorpe surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate.
