There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Mildenhall registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
