And to add insult to injury, the house was filthy and the vendor left tons of junk behind including a mattress, bedding, garden furniture etc.
Am I right to be annoyed that she didn’t surrender the keys for four hours?

Completion at 10:30, got keys at 2:30pm. Cheeky?

Yes it's annoying but it's done now. We were the same, hanging around waiting for the keys after a morning completion. We finally got them at 6:30pm. The estate agent was royally pissed off at that point as well.
She left stuff everywhere, food in the freezer, bin liners of stuff and a half written (literally stopped mid sentence) note about how rushed she'd been because we made her move out so quickly! When we bought it we told her directly the date we'd need to be in by and she insisted it was fine as she already owned her new property and could move into it whenever. She still messed around not signing paperwork, not answering the phone etc. We had to threaten to pull out at one point because she was faffing so much.
All the stuff she left behind we took to the top. A week later the estate agent rang and asked when she could come and pick up the rest of her belongings. She didn't get the memo that moving out meant moving out, not "I'll use my old house as a storage unit after I'm gone".
But, all that said, in the grand scheme of things, it didn't kill anyone and was just one of life's annoyances.
