Depends on so much.
Have you bought recently? If so your paperwork is likely to be all set to go.
Are they sold/FTB/ready to go/rented
Anything from 6 weeks to forever.
Average is 12 weeks.
Expect issues like probate to double timescales.
If they've not sold yet then impossible to say.0 -
How long is a piece of string?
That depends on many things, not limited to:
- How many people are in the chain?
- How many of those have a mortgage?
- Is there a FTB involved?
- Is there a divorce or death in the chain?
- Does any of the houses in the chain have something nasty that a survey will bring up, causing a delay for checks/paperwork evidences?
etc etc
But, without knowing any of this, I'd say you'll be in by the end of July.0
