There's a dozen factors which influence how long it takes so its impossible to give an accurate figure, even if someone's application was the one before yours there could still be a vast time difference. :roll:

Assuming you've got a completely clean record and no medical issues, you're not asking for anything out of the ordinary and you've got your club membership/land permission in place i'd expect 2-3 weeks to get your visit and then another 4-6 weeks on top of that for grant if it goes smoothly. I definitely be chasing them up (polite phone call) if you hadn't had your home visit after 4 weeks, or a decision after 10.

Good luck :good:
