I have been informed by numerous friends that it may take up to two months for Crabtree conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The paperwork was only forwarded to my conveyancer last week so does the time start running now?
You need to be pragmatic concerning timing. Property transactions in Crabtree takes on average about two months. This timeframe is not because lawyer are slow and deliberately delay matters. The level of money involved in purchasing any residence is so high, the purchaser's conveyancer needing to raise a wide range of questions, searches and further checks to protect the buyer and their mortgage company (if there is to be a mortgage) from expensive, avoidable problems.

Plenty aren't. Finally, no matter how quickly your conveyancing practitioner do their job, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are up to speed.
