What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Skipton Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in North London?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Fiveweeks into purchasing a house in North London. Conveyancing solicitor has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect the marketability of the house?

North London conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value too much.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a significant impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
