- Whether a re-mortgage.
- Whether freehold or leasehold.
- Whether a new build.
- Whether first registration of title.
- Whether a shared ownership scheme.
- Whether a purchase at auction.
- Whether using a help to buy scheme.

Timescales
It is very difficult to give an accurate estimate of the length of time a transaction will take as this will depend on a number of variables including the length of the chain. The gov.uk website currently states that “buying or selling a home normally takes 2 to 3 months.” The process can be quicker or slower than this depending on a number of variables.
