Selling my flat - what time of day should i get the money?

Question

Hi,

I just wondered if anyone would know roughly what time completion happens when you sell a property? I'm selling to a first time buyer so not in a chain.

Any ideas welcome!

Thanks

Katie

Answer 1

it all depends on when your solicitor receives monies from other party.  Speak to your solicitor and ask for an early completion on the day, monies can be done and dusted then before lunch otherwise they wont hurry!!!!

Answer 2

money will come via your solicitor,  Probably early on the day of completion   .. Why?  Is the exact moment so critical??

Answer 3

ask your solicitor but should be around mid-day

Answer 4

I used to work in an estate agency, and for some reason, most completions went through about lunchtime on a Friday....not sure why....your solicitor should tell you, as the money goes to them first to they can take off their share.

Answer 5

roughly around midday

Answer 6

usually midday on friday but sometimes it can happen anytime at all
