Is it the case that all Chesham solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Chesham 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Chesham conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Chesham conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Chesham, conveyancing having been completed January 2001. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Chesham with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2086
You have 61 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £19,000 and £22,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
