Completion on notice - Shared ownership

Hi, wondering if people can help me. 
I am buying a new build property with the help of shared ownership. I paid my deposit and exchanged contracts last week. I was then made aware the the completion was on notice for the 30th September. 
I received an email from the shared ownership team informing their handover will be 29th/30 September. 

I may have got too excited and booked the week of the 5th off work with deliveries coming that week.

What are the chances of me getting the keys at the latest the 2nd October? what are the next processes? is it down to my solicitor ensure my mortgage lender transfers the money. sorry starting to panic that Ive been too eager :) 

Any help will be appreciated, even if its just to calm me down a bit haha 

Thanks

    If you complete on the 30th of September then you get the keys on the 30th September...

    Do you mean the completion was on notice, and you have now been given formal notice that completion will be on 30th September?

    If so, that's the date you should get the key.

    Or do you mean that completion was estimated for 30th September, but you haven't been given formal notice of completion yet?
  • Hi 
    Yeah, completion was on notice. Got an email from the shared ownership company saying they will be getting handover on 29th/30th

    Sorry for the confusion
