Conveyancing - how fast can it happen?

Would be interested to see the links. Might be what they 'aim' for, but IMO (and others' on the board) it's more like 12 weeks average. Obviously some will be quick, others slow. One of mine took 5 weeks, another 5 months. I'd still put the average at 12 weeks though.MrSnuggl3s wrote: »Doing research online, the main timeframe I usually see is around 4-8 weeks for conveyancing.

I would also be interested.
It's all well and good one firm aiming for that timeframe, but there are so many external factors that affect the time it takes that are outside of the control of one individual firm of solicitors.
Sometimes a transaction can be very straightforward, sometimes there will be a reason why one element takes a while to resolve and it's not usually obvious on day one which type of transaction you're involved in.
Therefore I would be sceptical of a solicitor claiming they can be ready within in given period of time, before they knew greater details about the chain and properties involved.0 -
