Just had confirmation that the courts have now received all paperwork, can I ask is the courts the same as probate registry, sorry I haven’t got a clue with all this 

The Probate Registry is part of the HM Courts & Tribunals Service, so I presume that's what they mean.

Can I ask, if they have now received all paperwork and had a confirmation text to say they have it, is it just waiting to be reviewed then they will be given a grant of probate thanks 

Yes it's an acknowledgement that they've got the paperwork - but there's no telling how long it will take to be reviewed. In my case, the two e-mails (to say they'd received the docs and then to say they'd granted probate) came a minute apart, but I think they promise to acknowledge receipt within ten working days so they may fast track that and leave the reviewing for later if it's not a very straightfoward case.

I'm afraid you just have to be patient - and as you're not the one actually making the application (as I recall - you've just offered on a property involved in a probate application ?) there is really nothing you can do to expedite the process.

Thank u, I know I can’t do anything just wish there was a date they had to do it by, we been trying to buy a house since jan and the first house fell through as vendor pulled out, found this one and willing to wait as we have fallen in love with the house. Fingers crossed it won’t be to long

you have my sympathies - I've been in your position so I know how frustrating it is, which is why now I've got the boot on the other foot I've decided not to put the house on the market until I had the grant of probate in my hand.

Would you have a grant of probate posted to you before it goes onto find a will.gov page

It pretty much happens simultaneously.  I got an email saying that we'd been granted Probate, the following day it appeared on the Find a Will page and we got them in the post 2 days after that.

We are also buying a probate property. Application sent off first week in March, probate granted 4th June, so around 12 weeks. It was an application via solicitors with IHT.

No, the solicitors dealing with probate would not release the title deeds until probate was granted. So we could not get on with draft contracts, searches etc. We are due to get our draft contracts tomorrow hopefully, and then searches can start.
Not sure if it was paper or online sorry.

The vendor is using 2 different solicitor,1 probate and the 1 dealing with the house, maybe that’s why we can start searches, I’m hoping probate will be granted when searches come back, we waiting on 1 more search so I’m hoping things will go smoothly now,hope all goes well with yours
