Oh didn't know that, that's good to know. We'll look to do a proper conversion of the loft next year so handy to know.

On another note my misses is on the phone to Monzo as there is a transfer limit of £10k per day. Not great when a chunk more than that for the deposit is needed by the solicitors tomorrow to enable us to exchange 🤬

It's a ballache, but that's pretty standard for BACS transfer payments in most high street banks.

CHAPS costs, but is instant & effectively limitless.

[Edit] It probably goes without saying, but it's also good idea to phone your solicitor to validate their bank details, and never make a transfer based on email.

I thought that had gone up to £25k now with "faster payments". (Although it does require both accounts to be compatible.)
