We have been informed by many friends that it should take six to eight weeks for Weldon conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The draft contract was only received from the vendors lawyer last week so does the time start running now?
You need to be realistic concerning timing. Conveyancing in Weldon usually takes about two months. This timeframe is not because lawyer are slow and willfully delay matters. The level of money involved in buying any property is so high, the purchaser's conveyancer having to carry out a wide range of enquiries, searches and supplemental checks to protect the purchaser and their mortgage company (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. These investigations involves getting information from various different parties, including other property lawyer, local councils, private companies, mortgage companies. Some of these are well organised. Others aren't. And remember, no matter how quickly your conveyancing practitioner do their work, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are up to speed.
