Advice on how long to wait for solicitor to get back to me..

My conveyancing solicitor sent off the draft contract to my buyers solicitor on June 13th (a Friday I think) after I completed the fixtures/contents etc forms. I've not heard anything since. How long do buyers normally take to get searches done etc?

As a backstory......I'm selling my late mum's house. I've had a very traumatic 2 years since her death. It's taken a year to get a buyer. The stress has really got to me.

We “sold” our parents house mid March and we haven’t got an exchange date yet. EA says this is normal, and all is going well. I asked the conveyancer to chase the buyers ones but honestly I’m starting to think it’s taking too long and it’s going to fall through. There’s not even a chain, maybe this is what it’s like now?
