Where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and insight.

Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the lender panel.

Most Milton Keynes conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

The Milton Keynes conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Milton Keynes have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my family Milton Keynes lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.

Milton Keynes conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability significantly.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a significant effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
