Completion is a date agreed by all the parties in the chain. There is no way of knowing what motivation others have, so you simply notify your solicitor of your preferred dates and he puts them to the other solicitors.

You are not a passive observer here. You make a direct input into the selection of the completion date.

Once all the necessary documentation is in place, completion date can be agreed, contracts exchanged then completion take place on that agreed date.

Thank you! Ours is a remortgage so I am hoping it will be quite straightforward

Ours (back in Feb/March) took 3 weeks. Which I think is higher than most people's experiences of 1-2 weeks.

Thank you TDPIX, that's great, hope ours is soon! It's been very nervewracking up to now so just cannot wait for it to be completed and over with now! Lol

Sorry, I thought it was a purchase.

In that case, the solicitor may already have asked you for a completion date and if not, they will look to complete as soon as they have an up to date redemption statement from your existing lender.
