bank charges

i am over the moon at recieving news of my deposit in the hands of my solicitor, however i am looking at the best way of getting my money back without paying bank charges or poor exchange rates. I am considering using a currency exchange company.

Can anyone help??

Hi  we received our deposit plus legal interest last year and we received an email on a friday afternoon asking for our bank details. Our spanish bank would have charged us a lot as our account was just one for paying Bill's from.So we asked if we could use a currency house but were told no.So we had to have it sent to our english bank and lost quite a bit on the exchange rate. If we d had time(but the banks were closed) we could have changed our account and saved a fortune.By the time the solicitors took their money and the loss on the exchange we ended up with less than the original deposit paid.We were awarded costs two years ago but banks have appealed and we are still waiting.we have changed our account just in case we may get our costs back.hope this helps

Hi all, has anyone heard anything regarding the appeal for legal costs. The solicitor (GM legal experts) doesn't seem to exist anymore and I have no reply from emails. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. Claire.
