Finally the sale completed on my house in Purley last May yet the purchaser is whats apping daily complaining that her solicitor is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
After completion of your house sale your solicitor is obliged to send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer should also confirm that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in Purley.

Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Purley. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess 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 Purley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Purley I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Purley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
