Hi Phil I choose the option of transferring via Natwest for a £20 charge as it seemed the cheapest. As we paid in full cash payment we only had to send 1 payment through to the agent.

Hi guys,

I would like to bring this to your attention:

1. Save Money- What would you do with an extra £3,000?
Aside from the fact that Smart Currency Exchange does not charge commission or any
fees, we can offer you an exchange rate better than your Bank and save you hundreds, if
not thousands, of pounds.
We save you money by negotiating a rate of exchange directly from the currency trading floor.
Due to the daily fluctuation in currency rates, banks set their rates every morning to ensure
that no matter what rate they give you, they will never be left short. This is why you’ll notice
on Bank currency boards that they offer a very high rate to sell and a very low rate to buy -
they’re just covering the eventuality of daily currency movements.
The bank makes quite a hefty profit from their customers because they fail to offer the best
rate possible. (This is just another reason banks report such high profits at the end of the
year!)

PLUS there are no hidden charges, so you don't pay anything to transfer your money to overseas account.

If there are any bank charges ... we cover all the receiving charges.



If you need more info please let me know


All the best and think about how much you can save!

Thanks very much "mr" crombie stone......see,i rememberd!

If you are letting commercially rather than to "friends", you may find that the insurance either will be invalidated or will cost much more than for "own use", and if being "let and managed" by a third party company it may be a bigger problem, unless it is insured by the letting /management company.

Intasure quote for letting the property . You have the choice to include accidental damage for renters and the level of excess you want to pay .

In comparison to your normal UK insurance it is expensive but that will be because of the letting aspect . A really important part of the contract is public liability insurance .Intasure covers you for £5 Million .In a compensation culture this is very important if you are renting and someone tries to sue you for injury .
