sale of house

My solicitor got a deposit on the sale of my house last week.How long does it take for contracts to be signed and money handed over?I dont want to start pressuring mine or buyers solicitor as i was waiting so long to sell i dont want to scare them off.

As there are so many variables it would take too long to give a complete answer.

Check with your solicitor in about a week.

Have you been told anyting about the buyer's finances?

At least 4 weeks I would say, but could be faster if your lucky but I would expect it to be at least that long anyway, depends really on how long it will take to draw up the contracts and get the last few searches done on the property.

The buyer has the money availible or so they said as i turned down people who had to go through mortgage process,solicitors will probaly take ages to justify there extortionate fees

if a bank has your deeds in a valut somewhere, it might take a week to get the deeds of the house to the new owners bank.

It did for me and AIB were they cause of the delay.
