How is the residual payment left over after completing a house sale

It depends on your solicitor, most shy away from transfers to swiss
bank accounts.

My online bank won't let me transfer more than GBP 2000 per day to a
third-party account, even if it's mine (at another bank).

But a residual payment from the sale of a house could be tens of
thousands of pounds, or even more. Are you saying there is no way to
transfer it from the solicitor's client account because it is a large
amount?

MM

Not on line. I don't know if certain people have exemptions to the 2k
rule. Depends on who the bank thinks is trustworthy. You can go to the
bank in person and do it by CHAPS if it's urgent and waiting for a
cheque to be cleared is unacceptable. Probably need gawd knows what in
the way of ID, though.
