Completed the sale of my flat in March last December but our buyer keeps calling daily to moan that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

My husband and I are purchasing a newbuild apartment in March with a residential mortgage from Barclays .We have a March conveyancing practitioner but Barclays advised that his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Barclays panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Barclays approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the number one reason for delay in March house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in March.
The deeds to my property are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in March 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know precisely where to find all the relevant paperwork so you may buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be found, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in March
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted March conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
