Simultaneous Exchange / Completion

I exchanged the day before completion. My solicitor made contact with my lender to inform them of the proposed date of completion. It is absolutely doable exchanging & completing on the same day.0

Lender holds the purse strings. If their stipulation is 5 days. Then you can be abusive as you like but it ain't going to help you one iota.eve824 said:Thanks all. Our solicitor is c**p so I don't tend to trust anything she tells me anymore. I will push for a shorter time.0 -
The only relevant "stipulation" of the lender is how much notice they need for drawdown - as I said above, there's no need for exchange to have happened before you request funds, and the lender doesn't have any interest in when you exchange.Thrugelmir said:
