If you've exchanged/completed recently, how long did your searches take?

Hi,

I'm just trying to get an idea of how long the local authority searches might be taking at the moment. We've been informed there may be delays due to the backlog of folk who were rushing to complete before March 31st, which is what we expected- but our buyers were recently told they'd take up to 20 weeks, which seems excessive!

If you've exchanged or completed recently, would you mind sharing how long your searches took to come back? We are in the East Lindsay district if anyone else happens to be.
