    The first thing a solicitor will do when you find one is to prove your identity.
    They will want to see & photocopy a passport & or a driving licence & a recent utility bill. They will also do an online identity check.
    As soon as you are 'on their books' you will be able to do a bank transfer.

    At last we have the answer why not many solicitors answered OP's letters.
    From abroad it will be very difficult indeed to purchase a property in UK unless your ID has been checked out.

    If you get that far then yes you can pay electronically to the solicitors account.
