Hey Ifeary
I am presuming this is a second hand property that you are purchasing. Therefore, there is an interest rate included in the Contract for Sale and you can start charging interest once the closing date has passed. Normally it is never charged, however, your solicitor could write a letter to the vendors solicitor stating that if the sale doesn't close by next week that you intend charging interest, that usually helps to speed things up! Otherwise my best advice is hold tight, it will close, it may take a few weeks but you will get there, I am sure your solicitor is aware of your circumstances and is doing his/her best for you
