Bankers draft for deposit

Hi,

Can you just walk into a branch to get a bankers draft or do you need to make an appointment. I sign contracts on a house on Friday and need to take a bankers draft for my deposit

Thanks

    Most banks don't require you to make an appointment and you can just turn up at the bank. If your worried then give them a call before you go.

    Probably can just walk in but may need to go back to pick it up.
    Can't you do a CHAPS transfer into your solicitors account, you will be able to do that straight away in the bank and it will be paid same day.

    Why risk it for the effort of a phone call?
  • They said to bring a bankers draft but will double check before my appoinment friday. How much would you pay for a CHAPS transfer?
