Intending to buy a apartment in Fitzrovia. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Fitzrovia solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Fitzrovia differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Fitzrovia contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Fitzrovia tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Fitzrovia or who has acted in the same development.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Fitzrovia. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Fitzrovia - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
