  • Stupid question, and one I could just ask my solicitor, but I've spoken to them enough today

    When buying this place, it wasn't a huge deposit, so transfer was easy. This time round I'm going to have to send about 70k with the rest coming from the sale of our place. When and how do I do that? Is it on the day or beforehand so that it's in place? Online I think I have a limit of 20k per day, do we need to go to a branch? I moved everything into the one account last week so at least it only has to come from one place.

  • CHAPS transfer is normally the way - It costs £15 - £25, but is effectively limitless.

    You do it when your solicitor asks you to they settle immediately (or should)

    First checking with them that the account number they've given you is correct, in case their email has been spoofed.
