Completed the sale of my flat in Anlaby last November but my buyer keeps calling me to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened following completion?

I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Anlaby for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Anlaby conveyancing specialists.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Anlaby. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
