Currency Exchange

Hi, as the exchange rate is fluctuating at the mo, we've decided to transfer the remainder of the sale price and 10% fees to our spanish account now, but would like some feed back as to how to do this.

We've been recommended Currencies Direct by one person and HIFX by others. When we've looked at their websites they could save us up to £2,000 compared to our bank, but we're a bit nervous of sending that much money through an unknown source in case it all goes pear shaped and the money strays.

Has anyone used either of these during their purchases and could give us more info please? or let us know how you went about these final money transfers??

Thanks in advance,

Carol & Neil

Hi there Carol and Neil, we used worldwide currencies, you can pre order currency from them (minimum £5000) for when you need it, then they will send it direct to the agent, we did not send it to our spanish account as the banks charge to receive transfers. We used them for each payment, also my daughter and son in law used them for property they have bought in Florida, Bulgaria and Italy. they did what they said they were going to do and on time. if you want contact details just let us know, the I do not know how they compare to the others, the prices they quote are commercial rate.

regards

Stan and Diane
