'Cash buyer' in the UK usually means someone who will pay the full price at once, as opposed to someone buying with finance to be arranged. It doesn't mean someone turning up with a suitcase full of used £50 notes. More commonly the term 'cash buyer' is used for people who are cash buyers of property, but that just means that they have the funds available for immediate transfer and won't need to arrange a mortgage.
Money laundering regulations here mean that UK banks are obliged to report any unusual deposits of large amounts of currency.
