We're in Langford, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

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 purchasing my first flat in Langford with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
