IfI was to purchase a straightforward homein Bakewell for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Bakewell?
Any savings you would make will be isolated to the Bakewell conveyancing searches. The solicitor still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers solicitor, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge however it won't be meaningful.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a garden flat in Bakewell. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Bakewell?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Bakewell. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this clause is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative 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). Do Co-operative recommend any Bakewell solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Bakewell solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bakewell
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
