Solicitors Bill

Any idea when I will receive the final bill from the solicitors?
I am fully expecting to exchange on Monday, if this happens then all that remains for the solicitors is to transfer the monies on completion day isn't it?
if so can I ask for a final bill after exchange has taken place?

You should get a draft completion statement a few days before completion.I am a mortgage broker. You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Mortgage Adviser Code of Conduct.

The completion statement sets out all the money coming in, such as sale proceeds, mortgage funds and any cash injected; balancing it with the outgoings, such as the purchase monies, disbursements, fees, VAT and stamp duty.
The final amount is the money your solicitor needs from you to undertake completion.I am a mortgage broker.
