My hubbys employer has agreed to go and view a house for us and, if we are successful candidates, will sign the lease and pay the deposit on our behalf
! However, I have confused myself as to how we can send the money to him to do this (plus whatever fees he incurs in his bank account).
Is it best to use a bank transfer (BACS or CHAPS) or would it be better to use something like paypal if he has an account? Funnily enough I was talking to my gran about this the other day. She likes to treat the children once in a while by sending a parcel of bits and bobs (colouring books and that sort of thing)which she could still do, but she also sends the odd cheque to me for them to choose a new toy or whatever themslves (the eldest chooses, the youngest is chosen for), and she wanted me to find out how she could send money so they can choose the things they want. It is sort of pocket money, so isn't large amounts.
We haven't set up accounts with ozforex/hifx etc yet, although I believe that these are for large sums of money rather than small sums. Also a quick question about these currency transfer accounts. Do you have to wait until you have the funds available for transfer before you set up the account, or can you do it in advance? The reason I ask is that my hubbys business sale should go through right at the end of November, and we are (hopefully) moving at the beginning (1st week) of December, so his money from the business sale would be available then, but we would need some immediately in dollars for buying a car and paying six months rent up front when we get there.
Any help would be appreciated because I find myself staring at the ceiling in the wee small hours thinking about these little bits and bobs.
