Fact that he's in such a hurry and won't provide any indication of the source of his funding puts him in barge-pole territory, for me. Doubt any halfway-decent solicitor would want to have anything to do with it, either - money-laundering regs and all that.
My experience of selling commercial properties over the last year or so is that asking for proof of funding is a pretty reliable method of shaking out the tyre-kickers and celestial pie merchants.
