Funds transfer by lender for completion - can it be fast?

[CatAndHisKit]

I know the normal transfer timeframe is five days. Is there a way to have an instant or 24hr transfer, e.g. if buyer pays extra for speed?
Especially would lenders offer this option if a mortgage expiry date is within those 5 days of transfer?

Absolutely! Not heard of any payments taking that long nowadays. House monies usually transfer using chaps I think - see this link

Suggest you discuss with the parties involved.

We completed on our purchase this week.
I’d transferred the deposit, stamp duty to the solicitors, same day payment and it cost £20

Thank you Mintine! that's asurprisingly low fee - gives me hope.

Calm buyer's sols wre always stating previously that it will take 5 days as that's probably standard with that lender - but also my solicitor said it's usual - now they are saying they are still working with lender to complete end of this week - but they haven't actually confirned that it can be faster / same day when I asked via mine. It's all been dismal with communication generally.
