UK Landlord Forum / Life

Hello, I wonder if you can help.

I'm an italian guy planning to buy a terrraced house in east London but I'm currently living in Paris and didn't succeed in opening a bank account in the uk as non-resident.

As soon as I sell my flat in Paris and have the money in the french account, In London could I be able to go through exchange of contracts and completion with a foreign account? I'm a cash buyer. Could I make a money transfer to my solicitor for completion from France? What's the method of payment for exchange of contracts? Could I pay with a french cheque?

Thanks in advance,
