solicitor refusing to transfer my part of house sale to sibling

schoey61

again , thank you ALL for your time and comments,,, and I may have cracked it, thanks to help here..
it looks like , (not 100% sure yet ) that with REVOLUT,  I will be able with a premium account to open and hold differing currency accounts, they offer immediately a GBP sterling account with corresponding bank account nr ..
I can also hold a German account, and can therefore transfer internally, I came to REVOLUT through the suggestions for N26, which didn't quite work out, but led me to REVOLUT. Now it seems almost too good to be true.. but I,m doing the due diligence on it as good as I can, obviously now I will be able to ask the solicitors bank to transfer to my uk account incurring no mark up,s and little cost, then I can transfer internally from the uk account , to the German account. here there will also be costs, but NOTHING compared to what would have been. I repeat, seems almost too good be true, but they're big and serious.. for those who wrote asking why I just couldn't,t open a uk bank account as a Brit.. it really is not easy as an expat.. it,s possible, but time consuming, and all banks want LARGE deposits BEFOREHAND.. I shall definitely report back here,, thanks again
ps. what also was helpful is that I run a VERY small business in germany, they triple checked me, but this led to a business account at REVIOLUT, NUT SURE the multi currency accounts are available to private customers,, happy weekend

Do be careful with revolut as it isn't secure and I have heard that people have had their revolut account emptied, so for a large amount it may be risky. 

There also tends to do anti money laundering checks by the banks when you have a large deposit and they will freeze your account and won't let you withdraw the funds until you have satisfied their fraud department. 

I haven't used revolut before so I don't know how much support they provide to customers when issues arise.
