    I had the funds from my solicitor on completion of the sale. In fact the money hit my bank account a couple of hours before the rest of the capital from the sale which was needed to fund a cheaper purchase made it to our vendor. No excuse for the solicitor not to send it on to you as soon as he gets it.

    I'm surprised others have had a delay on receiving funds. I've sold without buying a couple of times, and always had funds on the day. The last time, I personally collected a cheque from my Solicitor's office.
    Well, if you had not personally collected, presumably it would have been posted. So 2 postal days?

    And a cheque? So another 5-7 days before you actually got the funds......

    Does not sound like " always had funds on the day"!!

    I could have had the funds on the day, if I had paid extra for the transfer.

    A cheque just suited, as I wasn't sure where the funds were going to go at the point when my Solicitor asked me.

    Last week I completed on a Friday (11.30am) and received funds on Monday (2pm).
