Post purchase docs

We completed on a new house purchase in December which turned out to be a bit of a slog due to an incompetent conveyancer on our side!
Since the completion we have received absolutely no documentation from said conveyancer other than a letter confirming the transaction has been completed. Is there any other documentation I should have expected to receive from him such as title deeds (or copy if they are sent to mortgage provider) or...and this is what I am after, a receipt that the stamp duty was paid?
As we have now sold our original property we are eligible to claim back the 3% however require the SDLT UTRN to do so. I have contacted his office to try get this but not had a response, I will be chasing it on Monday but just concerned there are other things he hasn't passed on
Thanks!

Title deeds are not paper any more. Electronic at Land Registry.I am not a cat (But my friend is)0

I usually get all the documentation through on my BTL 6-8 weeks after purchase. It contains copies of searches and loads more and just fits through the letterbox. Amongst it is a letter confirming title has been registered at land registryIt may sometimes seem like I can't spell, I can, I just can't type0

If by "new house purchase" you mean a newbuild house, it will take longer than average to complete registration - so don't expect any Land Registry documents soon.
SDLT UTRN should be available though, perhaps not a standard thing for the solicitors to send out as most buyers don't have a need for it.0 -
no not a new build, just a new house for us
thanks for the replies, thats helpful, will just keep chasing for UTRN!0
