How long is my application going to take?

This is one of our most frequently asked questions&nbsp;&nbsp;<br> The vast majority of applications will wait before being processed. In some cases that can be a matter of weeks whilst in others several months and more. A definitive timescale can very rarely be given hence only an estimated/projected or average date/timescale can be offered<br> Once an application has been submitted it is protected with us and whilst a long wait is undesirable for all of us that protected position remains in place.<br> How long becomes an important question for most owners/sellers/buyers when there is an actual urgency such as an onward sale/purchase or mortgage offer about to expire. But it's more a question of <strong>'I can't wait and need it completed asap - how do I do that?'</strong><br> The answer to that question is far more specific as your conveyancer/you can request that it is expedited. There's no point wondering how long it might be before processing begins if an actual urgency exists - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-an-expedite">request expedition</a>.<br> If there's no urgency then please wait, try not to ask us how long it might be and bear with us
