We're in Sutton, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Principality , and our lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Should our conveyancer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Sutton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Sutton. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Sutton, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which will figure out the risks in Sutton. The standard information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to determine if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also carry out an environmental report. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Sutton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sutton approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Sutton tend to buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Sutton or who has acted in the same development.
