Disbursements are costs related to your purchase that are payable to third parties, such as search fees and Land Registry fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

How long it will take from your offer being accepted until completion of the sale will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes between 8- 20 weeks.

It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain. For example, if the buyer does not have a related sale, and has a mortgage in principle, it could take 8 weeks.
