No chain seller/First time buyer

[eieiodo]

How long should it take for the sale to go through between a first time buyer and no chain seller. The mortgage has been improved approved; the survey has been done. Bank valued came and is doing report, which they should have back by now. I have purchased and sent the Management pack to my solicitor. She has instructed her solicitor.

My solicitor said he hasn't heard from their solicitor yet and will chase him.

I was wondering if anyone could advise me on when it will be completed?

I asked the estate agent and he said the average sale is 4 months.

Ooer yes it is generous I suppose!
It's flat with a large garden in West London Zone 4. I accept below too twice. Once after survey.

It was the First offer I got the first week it was up because my estate agent was already dealing with her andtold me she had mortgage approved already and had lost out on a couple before as she made lower offers.

Freckle I agree you can't really compare transactions but so think you can put pressure on a third party if they are unduly slow.
