It can depend Caroline
Some want to sign and go with a little information and questions along the way
Others take ages and im thinking hurry up haha
2 hours sounds about average I think
Mind you I always end up chatting away so its prob my fault that they stay so long

mines about 1 hour
first one took forever
Its all the policies etc that seem to take ages aswell, and i am so careful to explain everything that i bore myself lol.

I had parents for a Sept starter come round last month to do all the paperwork and they stayed for 3 hours and we didn't even get the paperwork signed :laughing:
We sat there chatting but they did pay the deposit, they have to come back again to do the paperwork
2 hours does normally seem about right though

it usually takes 1-2 hours for me aswell
i like to make sure that we have gone over most things and not to rush it
