thanks

    Could be a couple of hours before it reaches the solicitors. You pay for same day transfer from your lender to your solicitor.

    Exchange of contracts and deposit is sent the same day.
    Completion day, funds are sent the same day.
    Exchange and complete at the same time, funds are sent the same day.

    In all instances, money should be received the same day, but occasionally (very rarely) there's a blip and the money isn't received until the next day. Funds have to be sent by a certain time for it to reach the destination account, if sent after that cut-off time, it's not guaranteed until the next day.

    Solicitors accounts departments have been doing this for years, you will be in safe hands.
