This is that marvellous day when it is all over and your move is complete! Technically, completion means the point in time when you hand over the balance of payment for the property and receive in exchange good title and the keys. At that point, but not until, you are free to take occupation.

When involved in a chain of sales, you must bear in mind that it is not practical to arrange all completions simultaneously. You will need to keep in touch with your solicitor or legal advisers to make sure you know when you are free to take possession. If we are holding the keys, we will not be able to release them to you until we have appropriate authority and confirmation that the transaction and transfer of the money has gone through. On a busy day, this can cause delay and be an unnecessary worry, so plan carefully in advance!
