Paying Deposit Prior to Arrival
Hello everyone 
I'm going to be arriving home in a few weeks and have found an ideal property, they require a holding deposit of £250 but without having a UK bank account I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the funds to the agency.
Any thoughts ?
Cheers

Transferwise should work. I used it to transfer money to my brother’s bank in Australia. The agency should be able to provide their bank details for you to send money to.

Cheers for the reply, had a last minute change of heart on the property (glad it happened before I sent the funds) but will definitely use Transferwise when I find a place that I ACTUALLY like and am not settling with over panic to just find somewhere
