Generally, no. The main reason is that money needs to be transferred to complete the sale and this can only be received when the lawyers' offices are open, which are usually Monday to Friday only.
But what happens if the legal work is completed on a Friday? Can the parties then move on the following day? Unfortunately this also causes problems! Generally most purchases involve Mortgage funds of one sort or another. That being the case the buyers' solicitor is only allowed to use the mortgage monies on completion, provided he is satisfied that Vacant Possession will be given on completion. Therefore, if the seller has reached agreement with his buyer that he will move out on the Saturday, vacant possession cannot be given and the monies cannot be used until the Monday.
