Having sold my house in New Malden last September yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours to say their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

If applicable, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers.

I purchased my home on 2 August and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in New Malden advises it will be registered in less than a month. Are transfers in New Malden particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in New Malden is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in New Malden. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as usual as all rents and maintenance payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
