Completed the sale of my flat in Pimlico last May yet the purchaser is e-mailing me complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your disposal your lawyer should send the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. If applicable, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Pimlico.

Is this relevant for conveyancing in Pimlico?
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Pimlico to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
