Oh b*gg*r. All prepared to go and collect our first MH today, train timetable checked, to discover our transferred funds have not arrived in the sellers account. Enquiries with our bank have been made, to discover that transfers in excess of £10k are still "slow tracked", and can take "up to four working days" to arrive. Drat! Transfers less than £10k appear almost instantaneously in the receiving account, which explains how the deposit was OK. So there is a (to us) massive sum of money disappeared into the black hole of the clearing bank system. Apparently, I should have paid an additional £25 to have it transferred under something called the CHAPS system, which would have guaranteed to be in the receiving bank account by end of business same day. Struggle to understand why this is so. So he we are, like children who have been told Christmas is cancelled, drumming our fingers over the weekend when we could (and should) have been trying it out.
