    Buying a new build in Maidenhead: what we check

    • Leasehold flats: new flats in Maidenhead are leasehold, so we check the lease length, the ground rent (which should be nil on a lease granted since June 2022) and the service charge budget before you exchange.
    • Flood risk: schemes near the Thames and its tributaries can be in a flood zone. We check the flood search and that insurance is available.
    • Town centre schemes near the station: we check the developer’s completion date and what happens if the building is not finished on time.

    How we worked this out

    We list developments of 10 or more homes found in council planning decisions, developer and housing association announcements and local news, checked every Monday. Sales figures come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data and are updated monthly; new builds take longer to be registered, so the latest full year shown is the year before last. Premiums compare the median new-build sale with the median resale of the same property type in the same year and are not adjusted for size or location.
