It depends on your situation - we bought ours recently and it took months as my partner is self employed and the mortgage took about 3 months to come through. It finally came through the day we threatened to pull out!

Your Solicitor can not really do much until they receive a copy of your Mortgage Offer so it is down to your financial advisor to push the mortgage company.
