No mates

Any chance of some guidance, it seems you know what you are talking about as you are/have done it?

1) Nationwide Flex Current Account
2) OZ Forex account
3) Bankwest Current Account
4) Building Society Account UK Based with the £10,000.00 in it

The exchange rate next week say for example hits 3.5 dollars to the 1 pound sterling.

I like that, so i want to exchange my money over at that rate. The trouble is i have to give 90 days notice or lose 90 days interest accrued on my deposit.

Can i buy a 90 days forward contract at the rate of 3.5 to 1 on this day it hits this new high, then in 90 days change my money over to Australian dollars.

Also how long does the process take, why i ask is if you move a large sum, you stand to lose a large sum in interest.

1- Move money from building society account to your Nationwide Flex account, so BACS two days, or CHAPS one day plus £30.00.

2- Move money from your Nationwide Flex account to your OZ Forex account, so BACS two days, or CHAPS one day plus £30.00.

3- Move money from your OZ Forex account to your Bankwest Current Account How Long?

4- Move money from your Bankwest Current Account to your higher rate savings account How Long?


Quite a lengthy process, could take all in all aweek to complete?

Does this sound about right? This is just an example, figures are artificial.

Thanks for any feedback.

What a day ! decided to pack our stuff up had a good old sort out. I sat this afternoon with a box of photographs to sort and broke down in tears ! looking at pics of my family over the years it just hit me how much I am going to miss being away from so many things. I have thought about it before now but I think it just hit me. We are just preying we are able to get our rental, the survey goes well and the money goes into the bank in 3 weeks ! then finally our visa comes.

It just seems all to much for us at the moment

There are some inconsiderate people in this World! I sat here like a lemon on Thursday waiting for a viewer who didn't show. I rang her 20 mins after the appointment and asked if she was lost. I forgot to ring you to cancel was her reply. Do you want to make another appointment - no. GRRR. :curse:

I don't know what to say about your PIAV (Pain In the Arse Viewer.) They obviously think the World revolves around them! if they try to make another appointment, ask if the EA can do the viewing as you are fed up with being messed around. It's hard because you don't want to let a buyer escape from your clutches................
