Thank you for your quick reply, do we also pay the solicitor fees and stamp duty this week?0

Yes. Your solicitor will require all the funds in order to effect completion.0

Solicitor will require cleared funds so if a cheque you need to get it to them asap.
Why not transfer the funds? Much easier and quickerI am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Can you not arrange a direct bank transfer of some kind?
As the solicitor will need to have cleared funds.0 -
It's a deposit from my father in law, so will he still be able to arrange a direct bank transfer, we would of been sorted earlier but our solicitor hasn't even told us we are exchanging on Friday, luckily we know the vendors and they have said that there soliton has arranged it for Friday.0

Get him to chaps it across.
If you do a cheque you are looking at 4-5 working days and that is cutting it VERY tight.
A chaps payment will cost £30-35 but at least it will be there.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Is your solicitor and lender aware of the source of the funds?
Has your solicitor informed you that you are ready to exchange?0 -
