What site do is best to look at to see what you would actually get if you were changing a decent amount over, say a £200k ?

Haven't used them myself but stacks of people have recommended Halewood International including the 'expert' migration agents so they can't be too bad. Seems as though they give a slightly better rate than the banks which can add up to a lot of extra $'s on a sizeable transfer:

We are going to use HiFX if they stop pestering me for 5 minutes! They have just changed to a plc so I have to sign new registration forms or something. They are helpful and you are not obligated by registering just when you agree a contract.
We are not going till September as we have to save more money for the move - don't want to dip into house money at all and our ISA's and shares have not recovered well enough to cash in just yet!
Ed has some big deal coming off too so we have to hang on till we get the payout on those..money, money ,money!

To copy:
1. Left click on the website address to highlight it.
2. Right click to reveal pop-up list of options.
3. Left click on 'Copy'.
You need to hover the cursor over the website address whilst doing 2 & 3.
To paste:
1. Right click to reveal pop-up list of options.
2. Left click on 'Paste'.
Hope this ends a lot of arduous typing for you.
Keith
