My DGran is buying a ground floor flat. It was 15 weeks ago last Friday when she had her offer accepted.
The flat is empty, the owner had it as part of a portfolio but is now selling as he comes to retirement age. My Gran owns her house that she lives in now but hasn't marketed it as yet. She is buying the flat in cash so it's not like she's waiting for a mortgage. She took her bank statements to the solicitors several weeks ago presumably to prove she had the funds available.
Every time we speak to the solicitors or estate agents they say they are waiting for some searches to come back.
It just seems a ridiculous amount of time when there is no chain. I'm sure they used to say that completion took 6-8 weeks??
I can't remember or last move but I'm sure it didn't take as long as this & both sides had ongoing chains.
If anybody has moved recently can you tell me how long you waited please?

AIBU?
To think that 15 weeks for completion is ridiculous when neither party is in a chain?
