AssumingI was to acquire a freehold homein Stoke Poges for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Stoke Poges?
The only saving you would achieve is the Stoke Poges conveyancing searches. A conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your sellers property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage however it will not be significant.

I purchased my flat on 7 July and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Poges said it will be concluded inside ten days. Are properties in Stoke Poges particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Stoke Poges registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Stoke Poges. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

I was advised by a couple of local selling agents in Stoke Poges to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
