I can't really find anything else in Withernsea suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

We have been told by various friends to expect 6-8 weeks for Withernsea conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The draft contract was only forwarded to my conveyancing practitioner a couple of days ago so now does it countdown?

Six to eight weeks is an extremely loose timescale. Answering exactly how how many weeks Withernsea conveyancing will take is nigh on impossible. Without fail every property will have it’s specific set of complexities. Accordingly your property lawyer should find it difficult to give representations as to the length of time it will take to conclude your conveyancing in Withernsea.
