It is not unusual for several months to elapse between signing of the sale and purchase contract and the deed of conveyance.
The reasons for the delay may in part be due to the indolence of the conveyance team in the notaires office, but it is more often due to the legal timescales that are set for each stage of the process. This is particularly the case for the two-month statutory period that is set aside for certain statutory bodies to decide whether they wish to pre-empt on the purchase of the property.
