My partner and I are buying a newly constructed duplex in Cheetham and my conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the builder. I am under pressure to exchange and I don't want to delay matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Coventry BS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Cheetham?
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 at a cost.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Cheetham. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Cheetham - 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.

Can you set examples of compelling advantages to using a high street conveyancing practitioner in Cheetham
A significant proportion of house movers in Cheetham choose a local solicitor so that they can pop into the lawyer’s offices in the event that they have problems, and to sign mortgage deeds without using the post.
There is a slight advantage when selecting a conveyancer nearby to a house you are buying, due to the knowledge of the locality and potential local issues - yet this is moot. Most conveyancers are now online and may be based anywhere.
