We're in Dorking, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is , and our solicitor is on the conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My wife and I may need to let out our Dorking basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Dorking conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your last Dorking conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
