    I'm assuming this guy is actually doing something dodgy with his money and is trying to figure out how likely he is to be found out/how to cover himself

    Must have a lot of time on his hands,  the queue for my local M&S is always the longest. Lots of bored OAPs standing outside.

    The only 'worrying' thing will be the state of your arteries, I'd imagine. Some of those M&S ready meals are off the scale for reds on the traffic light system

    Conveyancing is the most low value transaction a solicitor can undertake. They get paid for a 3 or 4 hours work spread over a few months. If they had time to read your bank statement they would not be able to handle other clients work. I think you are safe here!

    OP: I'll answer your post on one condition: you first tell us what it is that you are selling on eBay that has made you £170K profit in 3 years trading. Deal or no deal?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    So, that is the scheme.  Buy M&S meal deal for 2 with wine.  Heat it up and sell on ebay.  I would have assumed the OP would be better selling via Uber Eats, but if he made £150k selling via EBay, good on him :)
