We're in Woodhall Spa, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer 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'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Woodhall Spa. The Woodhall Spa property was put into my name in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
