In the event thatI were to purchase a freehold housein Ewloe for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Ewloe?
The only saving you would make on is the Ewloe conveyancing searches. Your lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors lawyer, 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 significant.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Ewloe. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A couple of days later, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
