    Thanks I was trying to be brief but I have had advice on the auction pack already and the condition of the property.
    Im not sure DVLA turn licences over in 28 days but I can ask. Ill double check with them then if its the solicitors that will want it.

    If anyone wants to weigh in on possible hold ups by the seller that could put me out of pocket?  It hadnt occurred to me that that could happen

    Love the vibes for people asking about auction advice on this site btw 

    thanks 

    Even in the midst of Covid, the DVLA changed my address over in less than a week.
    All done online now.
    I submitted mine at the beginning of  August for change of address and it took 4 months to get my new licence back. They sent me a form to sign and and envelope to send the old licence back in. Anything that requires some for of paper form will take months as it just sits in a queue. I was expecting it to all be done within a few days as I did it online but the end of the application stated they needed more information i.e. a signature on a form sent to the new address.
