Hi all, 

I’m a first time buyer of a new build and due to complete on Wednesday. I spoke to my solicitor on Friday who said she requested for my funds to be drawn down on 9th June (the lender advised this due to the volume going through with the stamp duty deadline). She said they had confirmed funds would be released providing the build certificate was with them by 4pm today (Monday), which was sent to them on Friday. 

I just want to know if this is it now, is it unlikely anything can go wrong? As you can imagine as a first time buyer I’m full of excitement and anxiety! 

I asked my solicitor that question and she said the only thing that can really go wrong was a delay in the funds being released due to the banks been so busy, but she was confident as she’d requested them early with the intention of them being in her bank tomorrow. 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you

    Thank you! 

    I hope not. I keep thinking ‘what if they do another credit check on me?’ But then think, we’ll it doesn’t matter if they do as nothing has changed!

    All these negative thoughts just keep running through my mind, I can’t wait till it’s done with!

    Congratulations It should all go smoothly. 
    Good you have transfered funds earlier.
    I can so relate, I kept on waking up early this morning just to transfer funds to my solicitor a day before completion date.
