I am in the early stages of house hunting etc etc
If/when the time comes to hand over the deposit i will be doing it in person face to face.
I will accept the details in writing and signed in case of any mistakes.

That's what happened for me today, the only reason I couldn't do it from home was because my card reader isn't working.0 -

Check in advancce - don't leave it to the last minute!
Of course, using CHAPS (usually a £25 - £35 charge) there is no limit.0 -
Because most banks (including Nationwide) have limits on how much can be sent via Faster Payments. This varies from £10K per transaction to often £20K per transaction or sometimes £20K per day, though some banks allow greater amounts, so you need to check your bank's rules.
