How long does STC usually take when buying a house?

The STC (Sale and Transfer of Contract) process when buying a house typically takes between 4 to 8 weeks, although this can vary based on factors such as the location, the complexity of the sale, and the efficiency of the parties involved. Delays can occur due to issues like property surveys, financing, or legal checks. It's essential for buyers to stay in communication with their agents and solicitors to ensure a smooth process.
