    Mine was just under 3 hours. I think the average is 2-3 hours.

    Four and a half hours mine was with me but she was very thorough. Plus I have a little girl who is 10-months and she needed seeing to so think that added to the time.

    HTH!

    Two hours 45 mins and i never offered a cup of tea! Just so much going on totally forgot about it, but remembered to check I.D and ask her to take shoes off.
    Also had to make her go in garden as she did not realise how big it was or that we had a pond.
    Had to do my Jesus impression of walking on water

    Mine was 1 hour 45 mins. Plus all my children were sleeping except for half hour when the baby (6Months) woke. It absolutely flew by although you are twiddling your thumbs when they are all asleep. Mine was really good actually, the inspector was lovely, it was more like a chat over coffee.

    Had mine on Monday and she was here 3 hours. A friend of mine had hers last week and it was 4 and 1/2 hours and another friend had hers yesterday and it took just 2. Think it must depend on the inspector. mine said we had flown through it and was suprised it only took 3 hours
