The timescale of any conveyancing transaction can vary, as not all parties are on the same schedule. As an average, a standard freehold sale or purchase may take 8 to 12 weeks and a standard leasehold may take 12 to 16 weeks. However, this could be quicker or slower as the process is affected by a number of factors which would include whether you are a first time buyer, buying a leasehold property that requires an extension of the lease or if it is a sale by probate or whether a management company is involved.
Once we have reviewed your matter, we will be able to give a better indication of timescales.
