mine took 8 weeks but you can push it with the help of both parties, talk plenty to your solicitor and set a date with the other party and both agree this with your solicitors. congrats and good luck xx |

Usually 6-8 weeks but depends on if you get mortgage sorted and solicitors, better to be first in chain or moving into empty property |
|

I think you'll find it is 8 weeks in England on average. I read this in some property paper about 2 months ago, when reading an article on home information packs. |

Dude it can be weeks but it is usually agreed to suit all parties. Should not be more than a month though. |
|

It really can vary, depending on how fast each parties solicitors work, a rough guide would be about four weeks. |

Both our daughters have recently bought places to live, one daughter it only took 1 month, the other one, becuase of solicitors mucking us about, it took over 12 weeks (3 months)! Nightmare, especially because she and her boyf had moved in here with us...
Aim for 6 weeks and hassle your solicitor!! |

It depends on the type of property, and the nature of the chain itself. If it were a first time buyer buying a house which isn't part of a chain (e.g. the seller has moved into rented accomodation) then a motivated solicitor could do the work in 3-4 weeks providing the survey was done quickly and the mortgage offer came through quickly. If the property is a leasehold, then it will take longer as there are more enquiries to follow.
On average, you are looking 6-8 weeks. If there is a chain, then it depends on the chain itself as each segment might be at a different stage of the process. If someone in the chain goes on holiday for a fortnight then it can slow everything down - especially if signatures are required. |

Could be anything. Depends if people mess you about |

If nothing goes wrong you are looking at about 6 weeks. Although, in most cases something will slow the process. There are 4 different solicitors to mess something up, 4 sets of homebuyers reports, 4 mortgage lenders, 4 people to pull out etc.
It is just a waiting game. If you're in by February you should be pleased. |
