The timescales that are referred to above are a guide and best case scenario and although we aim to meet these, if they are to be achieved, then all parties will need to be turning correspondence around in a timely manner and for there to be no complex issues in the transaction. As every transaction is different we give no guarantees that these timescales will be met and are only a guide given that we are bound by a number of outside influences beyond our control.
