Why this matters
Real estate closings can fall apart in the 72 hours before closing if pre-closing obligations are missed. A title insurance or mortgage discharge issue discovered on closing day cannot be resolved in time.
Lawyer review required
Confirm the specific closing time requirement with both solicitors before finalizing the noon deadline calendar entry. Some transactions allow flexibility; others do not.
