    Doesn't have to be AFAIK. Dates have to be agreed between vendor and purchaser.

    If you're a cash purchaser, I believe that the signing of the contract and completion/handing over of the keys can be done on the same day if the property is "vacant".

    If you've got a mortgage, you need the time to get the mortgage transferred from your account to the seller's account which can take a few days at least.

    In many cases, the seller may have to move out and remove their furniture out so again there could easily be a week or two. As a previous post said, the completion date is a date agreeable to both parties.

    Hoping to sign my contract this week and move in same day.
