Answered by Jonathan Davis
19 April 2008 [0 comments] Q:
I will shortly be selling my house and moving to Germany. I would like some advice on how to get the best exchange rate on the money from the sale of my house into euros and transferring the money to a bank account in Germany, or if you could give me an idea where I could get the information I need.
J Emerson, Hartlepool
