IfI was to purchase a simple residential propertyin Belmont mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Belmont?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the disbursement for searches. Your solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your sellers lawyer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it won't be significant.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Belmont I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Belmont in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
