Agree with this, if I was selling a car I'd prefer the safety of a bank transfer.

Safer for you too this way

That doesn't sound right, I think you'll find its up to six withdrawals per day, with a daily limit of £300 in total.

So yourself a favour and pay by a bank transfer... you’ll be safer this way.
Not to scare you off, but there was a time when someone was asked to pay for a motorbike cash and the person agreed; when went to collect it, he was robbed on the way near where the sale supposed to happen. The police found out after investigation that the robbers and the sellers are all in it...

Do a test transfer, then the balance once the test is done successfully. The only reason cash is being asked is probably because the buyer doesn't want the transaction to be tracked.

Send it to a mainstream bank account? Then you would be able to withdraw it all?

Just prepare for the form filling and having to justify to the bank why you are taking out so much cash, even though it is your own money. (edited)

"Some HSBC customers have been prevented from withdrawing large amounts of cash because they could not provide evidence of why they wanted it, the BBC has learnt."
Listeners have told Radio 4's Money Box they were stopped from withdrawing amounts ranging from £5,000 to £10,000. (edited)

Was it not hsbc that got huge fines over money laundering? Possibly now beeing over careful as a result?
Although I think all banks+retailers are obliged to check why you need the cash. Combination of money laundering, mules and scams.

I believe you can call them to have it temporarily increased.

That’s interesting, in the past couple of months I’ve moved much larger amounts without any issues.
From multiple bank accounts, one was first direct ( sister company of HSBC ).
