    While in an ideal world this may be the case- its not an ideal world, and very often this is *not* what happens.

    OP- ideally- you would draw down the mortgage, pay it over, and be given the keys- within a day or two.
    Occasionally- you do get weird situations- like one poor poster in this forum- where the sellers decided to stay on in the property- despite selling it- necessitating 4 months of anguish and grief for the new purchaser before the sellers were eventually escorted out of the property on foot of a court order.

    Normally- its a day or two- nothing longer- if its longer than this- your solicitor has some explaining to do........

    Yes I agree it is not straight forward. I was paying a mortgage nearly 3 weeks . I rang solicitors who said nothing they could do blah was the other side . Eventually got sorted but I found it very stressful and bad form to be paying a mortgage on a property I did not fully own .
