A week in the world of conveyancing is nothing!

Solicitors have many clients all at different stages of the conveyancing process hence priority will always be given to those with imminent exchange and completion dates.

In addition with the end of the SDLT holiday last week I can imagine many offices are still wrapping up files for those last minute completions.

Yes indeed, it was a rental property
i was thinking 12 weeks would be sufficient, but i was wrong.

About 3 months is the average time it takes to purchase a property - and that average is from pre covid, pre SDLT holiday. The max time it takes is a case of how long is a piece of string.  Dealing with leaseholds is an added complication and will only extend the time required.  

I presume if you have to be out tomorrow the landlord has a replacement tenant lined up. If not contact your landlord asap to see if you can rescind your notice.
