Indicative / Average Timescales

We estimate that on a freehold transaction all matters should be dealt with and the parties able to discuss dates for exchange and completion within a period of eight to ten weeks but you should be aware that this is an approximate estimate and the time could be longer. There could be problems with the legal title or delays in obtaining clear searches or a buyers mortgage offer or acceptable replies to legal enquiries. A matter can progress much quicker than this when there are no unexpected  delays and both parties and their instructed solicitors are proactive and action matters promptly.
