Recent industry insights reveal that the majority of UK property transactions are now taking between three to four months to complete from offer acceptance to final completion. The Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) reports that 84% of conveyancers experience this extended timeframe, with an additional 12% indicating it can take closer to five months — and over 1% saying six months or more isn’t uncommon.
While 55% of conveyancers are currently confident in the overall stability of the market, there’s growing concern about the speed and efficiency of the conveyancing process itself. In fact, only 17% have noticed any improvement in recent times, with many calling for a more concerted push towards digital innovation and streamlined processes.
