AssumingI were to buy a freehold homein Fortis Green for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Fortis Green?
The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the Fortis Green conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it won't be significant.

I am selling my home in Fortis Green. Does my lawyer have to be required to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.

Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Fortis Green.
The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Fortis Green 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know exactly where to locate all the relevant paperwork so you may purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your property.
