We're in Bebington, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is TSB , and our solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Bebington. Does the solicitor commission an energy performance certificate or it is for me to coordinate?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments became a compulsory part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned prior to the property being put on the market. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Bebington conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established local assessors

I am buying a property in Bebington. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Nationwide your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Nationwide where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Bebington.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Bebington I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bebington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
