    I'm waiting on Havering council and my EA just emailed my solicitors saying the searches are taking upto 6months if a search provider is being used. 
    oh no :( says about 25 working days on the website?  Mine was supposed to be 50 working days, but came back in about 15 via a search provider.. which was a nice surprise.  6 months seems crazy.

    Mine (third party searches) was ordered in early December, and due mid February in Tower Hamlets. That’s 9.5 weeks (I guess 2 weeks off for Christmas), and it’s still not back!!! My friend’s searches in the same council were ordered and back in January.

    Really panicking as the SDLT deadline is approaching. Anyone else got their searches on time?
