Once we have paid our deposit and signed our contract, when can we move in?

If the seller does not agree, how does the buyer set the completion date.

And vice versa of course. Your example could easily have worked the other way. In a sellers market, your example sounds more likely. In a buyers market, the 'we will exchange when we want or pull out' example is equally or possibly more likely.

As Richard says, buyer and seller have to agree, who has the upper hand will depend on a lot of factors.

I agree if it was a falling market and the seller only had the one buyer after months on the market, then the buyer would get the upper hand and say look I want to move in on X day else reduce your price else i'm going else where.

Obviousily it would be in the sellers intreast to try and complete\exchange ASAP

thanks for all your words of wisdom guys!
Our sellers have came back with a date of 2nd Nov. We have asked if they can possibly make it any earlier but if not, we will agree.

Not long to go!!

ask the question as soon as u agree to purchase, WHEN ARE YOU LOOKING TO MOVE, or HAVE YOU A FIXED DATE IN MIND,be prepared with new build for the date to come forward as well as drop back especially in winter when the weather can hold up build.
