There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hadley Wood registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties.

Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm buying a new build house in Hadley Wood with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
