Having sold my house in Goddington last spec month yet the purchaser is SMS messaging me to moan that their conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

My wife and I own a semi-detached Georgian property in Goddington. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Goddington and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
