    Shouldn't be a problem. Happens regularly.

    The solicitor will simply forward a new report on title in advance of the next attempt to exchange.

    A combination of a short period between exchange and completion and a lender needing five days notice means the report on title has to go in before the solicitor is certain he will need the money on the appointed day.
