Hi, could anyone give us some advice, we have a house sale going through in HO, we will shortly need to send the funds over, can you recommend a company to use? Thanks Mandy

Try Wise …. Used to be known as TransferWise ……. Register with them  and ask for an exchange rate. You transfer nothing until the final press.

Do a test run with a small amount first to make sure it goes to your account.

I use Wise as well to transfer between AUD $, £ and €.  Super fast, best rates and incredibly low fees (cheaper than Revolut, which I also investigated)

You can also use Wise as a proper bank account, pay using card direct from Wise balance and pay some (non-government) Spanish direct debits - electricity, internet, phone etc.
