Completion day

Hi,
We exchanged on Friday but do not complete till 3d December.
We've been told this inm writing but no mentiond was made in writing of where to pick up the keys. We were only told verbally that we could pick them up from EA after lunch.
Do solicitors put this in writing generally or not?
We were also told that the money is transferred on the morning of the completion day. They do not want to send money on Friday and they cannot send it at wekends. Is this standard?

correct completion can only happen during banking hours, as it's done via BACS which must be done before 2pm. So generally all transaction tend to start or take place in the morning.
After that the house is yours and when the EA gets the go ahead from the seller, you can pick up the keys.0
