Hi Nicky.
I would say ours was about 7 months once things were sorted proporley with estate agent until we completed 2 weeks ago.
Ours was an unusual property though and quite small.
I'm sure 8 months should be fine and if you get an offer sooner than you thought then you could get the solicitor to drag it out a bit longer until you are ready- they are very good at that
