In the event thatI was to purchase a straightforward propertyin Cromer for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Cromer?
Any savings you would make would be isolated to the disbursement for searches. Your solicitor is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.

No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have used the conveyancer you're contemplating using.
I have today placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Cromer and the broker that we are using suggested his property lawyer. He quoted nine hundred pounds plus VAT and disbursements. Does this sound expensive?
Don't just go on a single estimate. One should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Cromer. Then choose one that you trust and crucially, is on the approved list of the lender that you are sourcing your mortgage from.
