Having sold my house in Wootton Bridge last August yet the purchaser is texting me complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Following your disposal your solicitor is obliged to deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Wootton Bridge.

I currently have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Wootton Bridge. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
Your original mortgage agreement with Clydesdale will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Wootton Bridge. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
