AssumingI were to buy a freehold housein Shrivenham for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Shrivenham?

Any savings you would make will be isolated to the Shrivenham conveyancing searches. The lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your vendors conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.

We previously selected solicitors based in Shrivenham on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental fee for handling the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by UBS but by your Shrivenham lawyer. Some firms on the UBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

We expect to receive a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Shrivenham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.

I acquired my house on 8 November and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Shrivenham said it should be registered inside ten days. Are properties in Shrivenham particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Shrivenham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
