My wife and I have just sold one of our spanish properties. After ringing around alot to see the most cost effective way to send the money back as the bank wanted to charge us 1% to move our own money!!!!! We were instructed to order a spanish cheque book by HiFX. It took 4 days and was available from our Cam bank. HiFX offered us a fantastic rate and as euro is strong against the pound at the moment we fixed a rate and gave them a cheque. They cleared our cheque in 5 days and the agreed amount was deposited into our Llyods account. We were notified by HiFX  when the euro cheque had cleared and couldn't believe it when our funds were in our uk bank account 4 hours after the notification!!! We had no spanish bank sending fee and HiFX charged us nothing at all!!! infact in checking rates with other currency providers we found that they saved us between 1800 euros and 2600 euros!!!!  My advice is to shop around, find the best deal for you. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

My wife and I have recently sold one of our spanish properties and wanted to get the euros back into sterling while the euro is strong against the pound. After a lot of ringing around we found out that if you write a personal spanish cheque the bank will not charge a sending fee. We ordered our cheque book (it took a week to arrive at the bank) We found that  the only currency broker that could clear the cheque quickly was HIFX. They did not charge us a penny. We received a very good rate only slightly off of the rate we see advertised on the news. It took 5 days to clear the cheque and the pounds were deposited into our English account within 24 hours of the cheque clearing. We were dubious to see if any charges had been taken and were impressed to see that the amount agreed was exactly what we received. Companies that do what they say are very rare indeed, nice to see that honour of service still exists in the world.

Thanks,

Edward Davey.
