We have been informed by many family members that it can take 6-8 weeks for South Yorkshire conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The paperwork was only sent to my conveyancer a few days ago so now does it countdown?
Do not bank on moving on a specific date until exchange of contracts occurs. Whatever promises the people you are acquiring from or selling to make, or your financial adviser provides don't bank on them. More frustration is caused to home movers by false assurances than anything else.
