In the event thatI was to buy a straightforward propertyin Oadby mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Oadby?

The property lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the sellers solicitor, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it will not be significant.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Oadby. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Having for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you will need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor soon as you now have a pending a drop dead date to complete the property. Every auction property should have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold premises the legal papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that your finances are organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Oadby. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
About to purchase house in Oadby. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Oadby conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I am downsizing from our property in Oadby and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Oadby. Having lived in Oadby for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

We are soon to buying a property in Oadby. Can our property lawyer have our transaction price a secret from sites such as Nestoria. Is this achievable and how?
HMLR are legally obliged to disclose price paid data on a register of the title for residential properties countrywide including properties in Oadby. The register of title is an open document, so the Land Registry would be breaching their statutory duty excluded specific homes such as your one in Oadby.
In essence you can ask HM Land Registry to hide the price paid data but the response will be a No.
