In the event thatI was to buy a straightforward housein Duffield mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Duffield?
Any savings you would gain will be isolated to the disbursement for searches. A conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your sellers conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage however it will not be meaningful.

Please help - my lawyer says that absentee landlord insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Duffield conveyancing?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Duffield conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative completed the survey? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My offer was accepted on a house in Duffield on 29/12/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Leeds Building Society and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Are Leeds Building Society entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Duffield I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Duffield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
