Can anybody help me on this please, we have been told we will get date this week to meet our solicitor to sign contracts, the house is vacant so there should be no delay on sellers side, can anyone give me a rough idea on how long more we need to wait until moving day?
Thanks in advance

You work towards a closing date. You agree this with the Estate Agent or the solicitors agree with each other having taken the respective clients' instructions.

From the vendors side, the issue is clearing out the house and any potential issues that might arise on title.

From the purchasers side, its a matter of organising the finance.

A rough guide would be about a month from signing contracts. It can be done more quickly if everything is in order.

Ask your solicitor what time line they foresee. And ask if its possible to do it more quickly.

Thanks for that, our solitior said he will have a date for us to sign during the week, we presumed we would be getting keys pretty much straight away but after reading a few different threads I just thought Id ask on here.
Why do these things take so long!!! :(
