Existing third party relationships are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Maidenhead conveyancers often have long term relationships with financial advisers and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Possessing years of intelligence of the local area is an advantage.
My wife and I have just bought a house in Maidenhead. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Maidenhead?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Maidenhead. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a document known as a SPIF. answers turns out to be incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Maidenhead.

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Maidenhead?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you take up the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank to see if they allow a monetary alternative.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Maidenhead I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Maidenhead in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
