My husband has cheques every month from the UK. They are paid into our Stirling account at the FIB. we keep them there as I like to have stirling when I go back to the Uk and it means not having to change currency.

Seeing that it was only sunday the OP asked the question I doubt they have decided on where and changed to another country

Hi Hughie07 I know you are thinking of buying in the Borgas area but what I want to say is that although I am not in that area, I live 3k outside V.T.
