• Proof Of Ownership After Completion

    By Guest on 25th Aug 2016

    Hi, I bought a house and We have completed the purchase in Sheffield on 14 Dec 2015.
    I still have not received Confirmation of Completion- Signed Contracts of transfer, Confirmation of Registration- Copy of register.
    Please could you tell me what proof of Completion my Conveyancer have to send me after completion of Property sale and how could I check (without paying the Land register again) that everything has been registered corectly under my name?
    Also I've paid 506.05p for Lawyers fees and 117.42 for other charges but they have send me a final invoice for 460.80p fees."
    I've asked them to double check if I was charged the correct fee. Since they received their fees I keep phoning and emailing them but they ignoring me.
    Please advise!

    As a minimum your solicitor should send you a copy of the Official Copy of Register of Title showing you as the registered proprietor once the registration is complete. The Land Registry do have a back log but I would still expect the registration to be completed by now. If you are getting no response from your usual conveyancer then check on the Law Society website (use the "Find a Solicitor" option) who the senior partner is and contact him/her. Document all your attempts to contact the firm and if you get nowhere, the next step would be to contact the legal ombudsman. As to checking if you are the registered owner, you could telephone the Land Registry but they may say you have to order a copy of the register.
