I'd read somewhere it was taking longer than usual.
Is this true in general?

Where are you in the country? It varies widely, where I am it's about 20 weeks for searches but Bournemouth was taking almost a year in November which is the last time I checked.

Wow!

I'm in South Wales.

I am selling actually but can't find anywhere to buy yet so hoping it takes a bit longer.😶

Offered at the start of March 2023 and hopefully will complete later this month, no chain . Last year (near Bournemouth!) accepted offer mid July and completed in just over 9 weeks. 4 houses involved and a split chain.
