In most situations, yes. This is the day your solicitor takes the funds they’ve received for the house (either from you or your mortgage provider) and transfers them to the seller’s solicitor. Once they confirm the funds have been received, you get the keys and can move in.

In the event that the transfer is delayed for whatever reason, they might not receive the funds early enough to release the keys that day. Your estate agent will be able to talk you through this process in more detail.
