What to do if you want to avoid waiting for your new house keys on removal day in Nottingham or Nottinghamshire

As a purchaser you may be faced with sitting in at home or in a office waiting for keys to be released and with the removal van on their way, or worse, sometimes sat on the drive waiting to unload.Most estate agent companies will not release keys to buyers on completion which is a problem you may face when you come to pick up the keys for your new home.

If your wanting to avoid waiting for your new house keys on removal day in Nottingham or Nottinghamshire our simple tips and advice will help you get through the stress full time of moving.


We would always recommend checking with your solicitor as to what time of day he expects legal completion. Often, with a short chain, this can be early in the morning. Conversely,if there are several properties involved , this can take some time, even into the late afternoon.

In practice most completions happen around dinner time, if you anticipate being in your home, still packing, beyond this time it could cause a problem, with your buyer arriving with their removal van and keys, because they now own the property! This can be distressing for all parties. Therefore, it is wise to aim to be packed and gone by mid/late morning and, with larger properties, some removal firms may want to pack or start packing the day before.

Remember to leave keys behind:

Before moving day, make sure you know what you’re supposed to do with the house keys. If you’re renting, make arrangements with your landlord; if you own your home, remember to check with the real estate agent or the new owners.

Also collect all copies of the keys beforehand; from your children, spouse, friends or relatives. Have them ready for the new owners. And don’t forget to have the keys to your new home ready when you arrive. Having movers wait to move you into a new space while you try to track down the keys, may cost you extra.
