OK, so I told the estate agents Meow said they were talking nonsense, and I sent them the link to the Wikipedia page. Just got the following email from them:
"... Please be advised with the IBAN number we can do the transfer but only paying in the bank directly however we cannot do international transfers via online banking.
Therefore I can advise you that we can do the payments monthly direcntly in the bank but a fee of GBP 25 has to be deducted from the rent amount. As Barclays charges this fee for international transfers."
Is this correct, or are they chancers?
