I regularly move large sums over to our Spanish bank account using TransferWise via an app on my iPad and never had an issue with them. Exchange rate is currently 1.17165 and with their fee (£4.29) £1000 bought me €1166.62 so I look at the exchange rate as being €1.16662 when comparing
The exchange rate is the bests it’s been for 21 months so now is a good time to buy euros. Good luck.

You should be able to use your debit card it's the same as a Point of Sale transaction in a shop. If your card is from a UK high street bank you are likely to incur some high charges so you might want to check with your bank beforehand. If you have a debit card with Starling Bank or Revolut bank then there are no charges and the exchange rates are very good, much better than the UK High street banks.
Good luck in your purchase. We went through this last year.
