That's a "how long is a piece of string" question if ever there was one.
Is the chain complete? If not, you could be waiting a very long time.0 -
Completely depends on each sale. If there is a chain, like Annisele says, you could be waiting a while as everyone has to move at exactly the same time. If not, it could be very quick.0

think in months rather than weeks !!!0

As others have said it depends on how many people in the chain, but with no chain above & selling to ftb's I've always found the legals have taken approx 12 weeks from offer to completion.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
Can be slightly longer than 12 weeks if a flat, especially if waiting on 'management packs', etc.

Who knows what problems can arise!
Depends on how many in a chain also.
Could be weeks or months, there really is no clear timeline0
