We're in Peak District, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Virgin Money , and our solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Peak District is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Peak District are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Peak District you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Peak District may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
My mother completed her conveyancing in Peak District 9 years past. She has got married, divorced and is now married again. She now wishes to the sell the Peak District property. I believe she will just be asked to supply copies of the marriage papers to the conveyancer but she is concerned it could delay the conveyancing. Should she instruct a solicitor to update the Land Registry documents for the property?
You are not required to bring up to date the register as long as you have the evidence needed to show how the change of name has come about.
Any purchaser’s property lawyer will check the registered entries and ask for evidence to establish the name change for example marriage certificates.
