Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Slough

Me and my fiance are planning to buy a 3 bedroom apartment in Slough with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Slough solicitor, however the mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Slough property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to insist that the bank use our Slough lawyer ?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Slough conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

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 Slough.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years unexpired on my lease in Slough. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. On the whole a specialist should be useful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Slough.

My husband and I recently found out that one of the partners of the conveyancing practice acting on the purchase conveyancing in Slough is an aunty of the seller. Is this permitted?

Provided there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. Where you are requiring mortgage finance then the mortgage company may have a say as many lenders have specific instructions concerning this. For example for RBS - Direct Line One as of 29/3/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

No, your firm may not act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower. However, your firm may act if a separate fee earner or separate partner within the firm acts for us.
