If the account is verified and the legislation of the country allows it, there should be no problem, in coinbase they handle very large figures and can be withdrawn without problems when everything is in order.
It is a large amount, the chances for his account to be frozen is high, even if his account is verified there is no guarantee that his account won't be frozen. P2P is better, it will make his life easier and he can avoid unnecessary actions like giving valid documents or so on. If OP does not want to do P2P then the only choice he has is to split the funds and do not withdraw it as a whole.
How do I go upon using P2P to transfer my funds from Coinbase to a bank or home seller?
