You may be able to get the cheque cleared the same day through 'special presentation' of the cheque.
Not sure what banks charge for this, but have seen customers do this with the settlement cheques we send to customers at the insurance company i work for. This apparently clears the funds quicker.0 -

What is special presentation or special clearance?
If you're the beneficiary (i.e. payee) of a cheque and you wish to know as soon as possible whether it will be paid, you can ask your bank to present that cheque specially. The bank then sends the cheque by first-class post directly to the paying bank, contacting them by phone on the following working day to confirm whether it will be paid.
You may not receive the funds any sooner, but you will have the knowledge that the cheque has been paid before the end of day 6.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Natwest can do a special presentation and it will cost £15. It is also reliant on Royal Mail, so it may not end up clearing earlier!Anything that I do say, is strictly my opinion
