    So the survey is back and the price is agreed; presumably she can't get a mortgage at this age so is buying in cash?

    Any reason it can't be done in an entire month? I'd be annoyed if a buyer was stalling for a month as well. Should be easily doable if the freeholder plays ball, but not an outright 'cannot be done'.
