Recent industry stats published last week show that the national average completion time, from the moment an offer is accepted to having keys in hand, now sits at 22 weeks. While every transaction involves necessary legal steps to keep buyers and sellers secure, waiting over five months can naturally feel like a long time when you are eager to make your move.

The great news? You don’t have to settle for the national average.

The Comparison: 22-Week UK Average vs. DB Roberts + AVRillo’s 14-Week Average

At DB Roberts, our goal is to make your moving process as seamless and efficient as possible. That’s why we work closely with recommended conveyancing specialists who share our commitment to proactive service and clear communication.

Data from our clients over the last 12 months who chose our recommended conveyancers, AVRillo Conveyancing, shows a significant difference in turnaround times:

While the national average continues to hover at 22 weeks, DB Roberts clients using AVRillo are moving in an average of just 14 weeks!*. That is an average of two full months saved on your moving journey.

Conveyancing requires thoroughness, but thorough doesn't have to mean slow. Our partnership with AVRillo helps keep moves progressing smoothly by focusing on dedicated legal teams, direct communication, and modern digital onboarding systems. Rather than your file being passed around a general pool, AVRillo assigns dedicated conveyancing specialists who focus purely on property law so potential issues are spotted and addressed early before they turn into long delays.

Furthermore, because DB Roberts Negotiators and Sales Progessors have direct contact with AVRillo, we can resolve enquiries quickly and keep the whole chain informed. With modern digital onboarding and proactive search management, initial paperwork is handled quickly right from day one to cut out unnecessary waiting time.
