CHAPS, every time. I do all my business sale transactions via CHAPS, It costs a few bob (£30) but is guaranteed same day and is safe. I've had the odd occasion where the money has got lost in cyber space but generally it's good.

Thats quite funny, i didnt know what chaps was so i googled it and got;
'Coloured Horse and Pony Society'
'Tht Condom Reinforcement'

It's an industry standard way of moving money around the world AFAIK, see here: APACS - CHAPS

Depositing 10k in cash will kick in extra money laundering rules for the depositor.

CHAPS is good enough to buy a house, pay the fee, do the deal.

I received a bankers draft from a buyer and paid the seller in the same way.

One was for £9K and the other for £12.5K. There wasn't any problem.

Ok, cool.
Some people arent to sure about bankers drafts due to a high amount of forgery.
Guess i'll use CHAPS then.
Thanks.

I went to the bank and got them to verify it.

If I'm selling then its cash on collection. Wife works for HBOS and tells me many horro stories about fake or stolen bankers drafts. And they CAN be cancelled (though didn't ask her under what circumstances)

If I'm buying then it depends where from . .

Last motor was £22k from a dealer and wife did a transfer direct to the dealer the day before I collected. Previous to that I bought an £18.5K car from a dealer with £1k on debit card, then £17.5K cash on collection (from my business, and it would have cost me to pay it into my business account so I used it for the car and paid a personal cheque into the business account)

Bro in law buying a new Fucus and he's paying with bankers draft when he collects.

When private its a private sale / purchase, its handy if both parties have a bank account in the vicinty. Both go to the buyers bank and let him do a transfer then go to the sellers bank and confirm funds received. Then no probs.

Sold a scooby for £15k cash once, took some time counting, but it made for an easier transaction.
