I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my rented apartment in Bagshot by 21/10/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

I acquired my house on 6 May and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Bagshot advises it will be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Bagshot uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Bagshot registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Bagshot benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

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.
