In the event thatI was to purchase a freehold propertyin East Bedfont mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in East Bedfont?
The only saving you would make on is the costs for searches. A lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it won't be meaningful.
What is the optimum way to investigate if the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in East Bedfont is on the mortgage lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Bank of Scotland thus spending £192.00 in further legal charges.

I am the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in East Bedfont. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this provision is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
Is it the case that all East Bedfont CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing list of approved practices?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in East Bedfont. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in East Bedfont I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Bedfont suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
