    Daily online limit is 50k anything higher you should go to a branch

    When I paid my deposit to my solicitor, I called Santander to setup the payment, which is close to 100k. The next morning, I received a phone call from Santander to check the payment detail. My solicitor received all the money after one hour. So I guess any payment under 100k should be OK to be set up by phone.

    Not exactly impressed with the speed of things with the solicitors but at least its all done now.

    1st February was a Friday. 6th was a Wednesday. So allowing time for the lender to respond to the solicitors enquiry. Seems reasonable as under 4 working days.

    The redemption figure was provided to the solicitors by fax so I'm presuming it didn't take 3 working days but I guess its possible.

    In the grand scheme I realise its pretty trivial but still a source of frustration. Maybe I'm too easily wound up when things dont go as I think they should :)
