You can find a variety of solicitors advertising theoretically looks to be the cheapest conveyancing in Holloway.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a Holloway based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers where you want the "fee-free" deal. Call the mortgage company and ask if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Holloway.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Holloway I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Holloway in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Do I need to be concerned by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Holloway conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may recommend lawyers to select. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that most lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
There are only Sixty One years remaining on my flat in Holloway. I need to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What are my options?
If 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 lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. In some cases a specialist would be helpful to carry out a search and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Holloway.
