Completion day is set!

✅ What this milestone means

Your conveyancer and the other side’s solicitor have agreed the exact day when money will transfer, the title will register, and keys will change hands. In other words, the marathon has a finish line. Everyone in the chain now works backwards from this date to book removals, draw down mortgage funds, and organise utilities.

💡 Why planting the flag matters

1. Logistics – removals, childcare, pet-sitting, broadband installs - everything can be booked with confidence.

2. Financial timing – your solicitor schedules mortgage draw-down or redemption, and buildings-insurance cover starts at the right moment.

3. Chain stability – a fixed date locks each link into the same timetable, reducing wobble and last-minute renegotiation.

🛠️ What’s happening in the background

• Solicitors – diarise the transfer of funds, and send lender “completion certificates.”

• Lender / Broker – set the mortgage draw-down date (usually 5 working days’ notice).

• Estate Agent – arrange key release and final meter readings.

• Open Moove – updates the live chain timeline so everyone sees the countdown in real time.

📌 What you need to do now

1. Confirm the date with your removals company and pay any booking balance.

2. Arrange buildings-insurance to start on the completion date (buyers) or end (sellers).

3. Book final meter readings, mail redirection, and any cleaners or handover services.

⏭️ Next 3 things to prepare for

1. Moove Smooth checklist – tick off utilities, council-tax change, broadband switch, packing priorities, and more.

2. Funds on standby – ensure deposit or redemption funds sit cleared in your solicitor’s client account at least 24 hours before completion.

3. Key logistics – agree where and when keys will be handed over (agent’s office, on-site concierge, or direct).
