When it comes to conveyancing in Oldland getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
I am expecting a AIP from this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do recommend any Oldland solicitors on the conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Oldland solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and through the process.

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Oldland.

If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
