    I would doubt a solicitor would take a CC for anything other than payment of their own fees. Money for the house would be client money.
    At last a sensible answer, - no solicitor will take credit cards for what OP proposes - back to the drawing board.

    If you can't transfer money to your bank account from your card, you can do it via 2 Paypal accounts. Granted Paypal will charge you 3.9% but credit cards would havea fee to transfer to a bank account too.

    Although it is remote I think the possibility of that would stop the plan dead in its tracks unless you just use the card to transfer cash into your bank account.


    Given that you would be paying a solicitor there would be NO S75 on the house.....

    S75 would only come into play if the house took credit card payments....

    Debtor/Creditor link is required for S75.

    Never mind the 30K max on the purchase price.
    Never ASSUME anything its makes a
