Hello,
Roughly how long after an offer is accepted on a property is the buyer required to pay the deposit? I understand it can vary dramatically but a rough idea would be helpful. I am in Scotland if this makes a difference. Thank you.

Thank you @Serenity222 Wow...6 weeks is a lot quicker than I was expecting! I guess I'm used to seeing posts about mortgage applications taking an age to be processed.Serenity222 said:Hi they requested money be paid no later than 1 Working day before completion.
