Only if the solicitor's bank charges for that on the account concerned!

Plus the receiving bank is likely to prefer a cheque for traceability 

On what basis do you assume that, and what would it have to do the issue of solicitor and customer preferences anyway?

Hopefully it will work. Awkward solicitors though, sending a cheque instead of doing a bank transfer.

I've had two inheritance payments, both over 8 years ago, and in both cases the solicitor did a bank transfer.

I've just paid it into my Santander account using the outside cash machine as the branch was closed. It was accepted although it couldn't read the amount on the clearly printed cheque. Just have to wait to see if it clears now.

Just to say the cheque cleared okay yesterday. Thanks for all the replies.
