AssumingI were to acquire a freehold propertyin Holbrook for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Holbrook?
The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the costs for searches. A conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your vendors solicitor, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it won't be a lot.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Holbrook?

Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Holbrook.
