Solicitor did not register property

V2001

Me and my father owned a property as tenants in common. I bought his share out of the house, and he used the proceeds to buy his new place.
Everything was legit we used a solicitor and I paid Sdlt. But i realised now the solicitor hasn't registered the transfer with LR. Its still showing in both our names and LR hacmve confirmed no applicationhas been sent to them., I also took out a mortgage (before the house was mortgage free) when I bought him out and this is registered against the property, but his name wasn't removed as intended.
What can I do about this? The solicitor is independent and isn't answering back to me anymore.
Can this transfer still be registered with LR and backdated to when it actually took place? I dnt want to cause my father a cgt and iht issue by having his name still registered at a property he doesn't live in.

How long ago was this done? 

Could it be a Covid related delay as land registry have a large backlog at the moment.

I'd assume fairly recently

I'd have thought that asking the solicitor would have been the easiest thing to do.

Yea its been a few weeks, no reply from solicitor. She works independently for herself. Because I get no reply from her I'm stuck.

Land registry do have a backlog but it's not that they saying they havnt even received a application for any transfer taking place.

LR can take a while to update for some cases, but you won't know if your solicitor has put an application in at all though

If the solicitor has out the application in LR will acknowledge it on their systems even if they havnt processed it
