Hello everyone, This is my first (of many) posts on this forum. I couldn't see an introduction section, so I will introduce myself here. I am Terry, my wife is Nathalie; She is French but has lived in the UK for the last 20 years, we have 3 kids (10, 9 & 6). We are about to take the plunge and buy a property in the North (within striking distance of Calais). We envisage buying very soon and spending a few / several months making the property habitable, then Nathalie and the kids will move in permanently, but I will continue to live and work in the UK during the week, and commute at weekends. (I know it's a big drag, but it's the only way to make it happen). Anyway, to the subject matter: Does anyone here use a money transfer company called TorFX, or do you know if they are good/bad or indifferent? The reason I ask is that for some months I have been on their emailing list for market updates, etc, and I have found their info and advice very useful. For this reason, I feel almost morally obliged to use them. I will probably also sign up with a couple of the other transfer companies mentioned in this thread, I just wondered if TorFX were reputable? To a "money transfer virgin" it seems like a big risk paying many thousands of your hard-earned to a company you know little about; a bit of a leap of faith hoping that the euros will materialise at the other end of the virtual tunnel! Any advice or opinions would be most welcome. I have been glued to this great forum for a couple of weeks now and I find it extremely informative and generally very friendly. You will no doubt see my name pop up in several other threads in the next weeks and months. Thanks once again for all the useful information. TTFN Terry
