Thanks to everyone who have answered my previous questions, now for my next question, the properties i have been looking at are all priced in £gbp, do i pay the money in the same currency or in NTL. Do i pay my money to the solicitor or the estate agent. I have booked to go over 03/05/08 for 4 days with NCI, are these reputable?. Anyone used them, how did they find them.

hi trevor,



this aways seemed odd to me but very welcome

because to pay in sterling saves you from forking out

commission and protects you from currency fluctuations

think it works because developers and agents

keep sterling bank accounts

ensure your bank realizes it is a sterling transfer



there are pointers for independent solicitors here

and I think the hbpg can warn you off some,

also personal recommendations can be useful



if you want to make a payment it is better

to do it through your solicitor rather than direct

you should not have to pay extra and it is like in uk

of course developers and agents are always

happy to accept your money!

Hello Trevor

I'll contact you off-forum, but NCI have had an outing a few items before you starting 'Estate Agents called ....'

Regards

Trevor whoever you pay, make sure you get a receipt each time.
