Halifax Final Credit Check - Certificate of Title
I am at the final stages of buying my home.
Deposit paid - valuation done - move out day set - contracts signed.
From what I understand, Halifax complete a final credit cheque before releasing funds. This email chain happened with my solicitor today, does this suggest everything is done? I have heard stories of checks even up to the final day! Any insight will be great.
Essentially what I am asking, does this series of events suggest there is no way this can now fall through?

Hi,
I just received the exchange confirmation – great news!
Is it still a case that funds will be requested on the 27th??
**Solicitor:**
No funds are requested for the 25th April.
**You:**
When was that sent to Halifax?
Or is that pending?

**Solicitor:**
I requested the funds with Halifax yesterday.
**You:**
Okay! And all approved? Or pending?
**Solicitor:**
It's all approved.
**You:**
Amazing!
Sorry to ask a million questions here, have you had contact from Halifax recently confirming that? What was said?
**Solicitor:**
It's through a portal so I receive confirmation that the Certificate of Title has been accepted and that funds will be released on 25th April.
