We're in Isleworth, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Bank of Ireland , and our solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner 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 just acquired a flat at auction in Isleworth. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Now that you are exchanged you must choose a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a pending a fixed date to complete the deal. An auction property should have a corresponding auction pack.

I am planning to move home in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Isleworth. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this can only happen when the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Isleworth or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Isleworth.

I'm buying a new build house in Isleworth with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
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.
