The Master's offices compared

Time from notice to creditors to account, by office

The median time from the notice to creditors to the account at each office, in years or months, for accounts in the latest full year, against the national median of every estate; the band is the middle half of the office's estates (estates that reached an account).

Estates that reached an account, by the office on it, from 2017; an office's year under 30 estates is left out. The slowest are still open, so slow offices look faster than they are.

Share of estates taking longer than twelve months to reach their account, by office

For each office and year of the account, the percentage of estates whose account came more than twelve months after the notice to creditors (estates that reached an account).

Estates that reached an account, timed between two public notices, not from the Master's receipt of documents. Sorted by the latest full year; the last column is part of a year.

Each office, year by year, against the national median

Each office's median time from the notice to creditors to the account, by year of the account from 2017, against the national median of every estate that reached an account in the year (grey). Each panel has its own scale, all in months, so read the ticks to compare offices.

Median time from the notice to creditors to the account, for estates that reached an account, from 2017: before then the record, which starts in mid-2012, cannot hold a long wait. The last year is part of a year.

Nelspruit against the national median

The median time from the notice to creditors to the account, in years, by year of the account from 2017: Nelspruit against the national median of every estate that reached an account in the year (grey).

Grouped by the year of the account, so a year of clearing old estates reads slower.
