IfI was to buy a freehold homein Childs Hill for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Childs Hill?

Your solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your sellers lawyer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it will not be meaningful.

We're in Childs Hill, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Skipton , and our solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Skipton 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.

We previously chose solicitors based in Childs Hill on the RBS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further amount for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by RBS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by RBS but by your Childs Hill conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Childs Hill I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Childs Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
