In the event thatI was to purchase a simple residential propertyin Llanrwst for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Llanrwst?

Any savings you would achieve would be isolated to the costs for searches. A conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the sellers lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.

My lawyer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Llanrwst?

The appropriate level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Llanrwst. I have a mortgage agreed with Santander. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Llanrwst.
