I complete on Monday. Anything I can do to make sure there are no hiccoughs?

I complete on Monday. We are in a small chain. A FTB is buying our house with a mortgage and we are buying a vacant property with no onward chain with a mortgage. We've arranged all the removal men and are almost completely packed. We're keen to be in the new place asap. Is there anything I can do to make sure the transfer of funds up the chain is as speedy and !!!!!! up free as possible? My solicitor hasn't replied to my emails this week and I haven't received a completion statement for the sale of our house yet either. Anything I can do to chase things up. Is it worth e-mailing our mortgage broker to check everything's okay or is it not really anything to do with them now?

Just cross your fingers, chasing up people who do this every day isn't really going to help them.

This is all in the hands of your solicitor now.  Assuming you exchanged already (not doing same day exchange and completion) then any issues should have been ironed out at exchange.  Not much more you can do - try to relax and enjoy the weekend.

Have you Exchanged?

So the sale of our house completed at 11am. Our solicitor phoned us at 2 to say we had completed on our purchase. Our seller’s solicitors never confirmed this with the estate agent and didn’t pick up the phone for 2 1/2 hours. In the need the estate agent took our solicitor’s word for it. Glad I payed for the key wait cover!

We are due to complete tomorrow and I am like a kid on xmas eve. I'm however taking the approach that it is out of my hands - we had an update today on our online progress tracker that our solicitor had called the lender, so that is likely to request the funds over by CHAPS, or to check that they have been sent at best guess? No new is good news, so onwards to completion day tomorrow. Hopefully this time tomorrow night we have completed and be cracking open the champagne in our new living room after a nervous 7 month wait!
