Completed the sale of my flat in Wickford last February yet the purchaser is texting every few hours complaining that his solicitor needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Wickford completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
