In addition, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel.

Most Brighouse and Rastrick conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build house in Brighouse and Rastrick benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
