My fiance’s uncle is a solicitor. I hope that I'll be able to get preferential rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Farnworth?

We're in Farnworth, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Farnworth conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Farnworth.
