On settlement day, investors often ask: when can I take possession? While you’ll do a pre-settlement inspection early in the day, the keys aren’t handed over until the transaction is legally complete. Once your solicitor confirms settlement and issues the “Order on Agent,” the selling agent can release the keys. Whether you’re planning immediate tenancy or renovation works, it’s critical to time post-settlement activity only after formal possession is granted. This avoids legal missteps and ensures a smooth transition into your new investment.
