We're in Amlwch, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am assisting my sister sell her house in Amlwch. Does the conveyancer arrange an energy assessment or it is for the seller to coordinate?
