    Search times vary enoumously between local authorities. From 4-5 days to 4-5 weeks. Call the LA and ask what their typical turnaround time is!

    Not done a search with South Ribble in the last few weeks but they can take a while and it is the middle of the school holidays. South Ribble also operate flexi time (or they did) which could add to the delay too. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer.
  • Where is South Ribble? I have never heard of it. Anyway, it is school holiday time, so lots of people are away. That can lead to delays.
