Completion Statement
The final breakdown of every cost on your purchase, sent by your solicitor before completion.
A completion statement lists every item making up the money you need to pay (or receive) on completion day. It typically includes purchase price, mortgage advance, your deposit, stamp duty, Land Registry fee, solicitor fees, search fees, and any apportionments (ground rent, service charges for leasehold). Your solicitor sends this 7-14 days before completion so you can arrange the final transfer.
