    Yes. Two different transactions.
  • When I moved a few years ago I knew the bank teller and she waived my telegraphic charges

    Only you (and your solicittor) know what money was moved, when and why. But I'd guess

    * your mortgage lender sent money to your solicitor by TT
    * the purchase money was sent to your seller's solicitor by TT
    * some of the mone received from your buyer was sent to your mortgage lender tto pay off your old mortgage and/or
    * the balance of the money from your sale was sent back to you by TT

    So think yourself lucky it was only two!
