Having sold my house in Golders Green last February yet the purchaser is e-mailing me to moan that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

After completion of your sale your lawyer should forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Golders Green.

I'm the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Golders Green. The Golders Green property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this provision principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Golders Green conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for Yorkshire BS to issue the offer to the conveyancer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Yorkshire BS done the survey? Have you advised Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Golders Green completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. 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.
