PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    My searches took 15 weeks to come back, I was tearing my hair out, the council website gave a time frame of 20 days!

    Will depend on your council. 6 weeks and waiting here in Wilts.
  • Bromley council - requested 12/01, returned 21/01.
  • Mine took just under 2 weeks. Got them back Jan 21st but still waiting for the report. 

    How long did anyone wait from searches coming back to receiving a report?

    If 10 posters tell you their experience, it won't help you very much. It really depends on what, if anything, the searches reveal and what other matters your solicitor has picked up on. Also, how busy are they? Are they dealing with lots of transactions all hoping to complete before 31st March? Etc etc
