Wouldn't it have been easier to pay with a credit card, or even a

This is often a difference between the UK and mainland Europe where
credit cards are used a lot less. I can't even imagine a situation,
other than perhaps buying a car privately[1], where I might consider
dealing with that amount of cash. I'd pay by credit or debit card.

[1] Actually, I once paid £7000 odd for a car from a dealership on a
debit card. It just felt far too easy - just enter your PIN... (I did
have to notify my bank beforehand to prevent it being flagged as
suspicious, but other than that it was fine)
