House Buying Searches - How Long Did Yours Take (2022 Onwards)

Recommended Posts

Currently in the process of buying in the S36 area and the searches are about to be sent off. 

 

Curious to know how long it's been taking for these to come back in Sheffield over the last 6 months or so.

As long as it takes, they have you by the thingies, no point in attempting to speed them up, generally they don’t take that long.

It depends.

Some solicitors send each one to the relevant agency that handles the function concerned.

Others (inc. my firm) route searches via a single handling agency. This costs slightly more but is simpler to use.

If search results are delayed in being issued, your solicitor can obtain 'delay' indemnity insurance at low cost.
