In the event thatI were to buy a freehold homein Millom for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Millom?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the disbursement for searches. The conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Millom I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Millom suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Am I right to be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Millom conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may put forward lawyers to choose. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Millom - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My parents are experiencing problems in finding their Millom property on the HMLR site. They have a vague recollection back in the 60’s when they acquired the house there were complications with the address not being identified on some systems.
Almost all residences in Millom should appear. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it will mention all the premises inside the postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which may be with your parent’s bank.
