In England and Wales, conveyancing often takes around 8–12 weeks from an accepted offer to completion, although this is only a typical timescale. It may take longer if there is a property chain, delays with searches or mortgage offers, title issues, or extra work involving a leasehold property. Your solicitor can usually give a more realistic estimate after reviewing the transaction and receiving the necessary documents. For tailored guidance, speak to a solicitor regulated by the SRA and ask how they will keep you updated about delays.
