    I'm paying my stamp duty to the Solicitors who are then paying it over to HMRC, and the solicitors would take a credit card. Can you do this?

    The solicitors will require hard cash.

    It was mentioned on that thread to pay solicitors and estate agents fees on the credit card. In addition, these would only need to be paid on completion. Correct?

    The fees are payable at completion, yes.

    Choice of accepting card payments lies with the firms concerned.

    If they do agree to take credit cards they are likely to want 2 or 3 percent extra to cover their card charges.
