Title: Paying for the house in Spain
Post by: tracyhewit on May 09, 2014, 17:19:28 PM
Does anyone know if I can transfer the money to pay for the house I am buying?   It appears very dated to provide a bankers draft??

register with these people and you get a very good rate.  One of the best if you are transferring a fair bit.  http://www.arboleas.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=86259.0

They are NOT expensive on commissions. They are one of the cheapest around at a MAXIMUM O 0.5% and that is for small amounts to transfer.  A large amount of 5000 or more gets you nearer to 0.1%

Just ask some of the people that have used them via the forum.
