Halifax: Credit Check after Cerificate of Title

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?  
Sent from my iPhone

**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.

    Why are you asking? Do you think something has changed recently?
