Question on completion (remortgage)

First time remortgager here.

My current fixed deal will come to an end on 31 August. I’ve already arranged a remortgage with a new lender and have returned the signed mortgage deed form. However, I am not sure how completion work. Can my solicitor complete for me before 31 August or can they only complete on 31 August (or 1 Sept??). I'm hoping this could be done without delay as I don't want to pay the SVR to my existing lender which is really high.

Just a bit nervous as I’m also using this remortgage to pay back my help to buy equity loan – does that have to happen on the same day too? I guess it does as otherwise I wouldn’t have the money.

Many thanks.
