In the event thatI was to buy a straightforward propertyin Stanley mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Stanley?
The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the Stanley conveyancing searches. A solicitor still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your sellers conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it won't be significant.

How does conveyancing in Stanley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Stanley contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Stanley typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Stanley or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Stanley is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Stanley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Stanley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stanley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
