im in the UK and used a currency exchange broker. i registered with both First Rate FX and Smart Currency Exchange, (which is free to do) and i went with Smart since they offered me the best rate. i've also read comments from other people on other forums who have used Smart and they also say they offered the best rates when compared with others, so this was the main reason i went with them. the process was quick and pretty easy and there were no other charges involved, you can always ring up for a quote and if you're not happy with it you don't have to take it, and you can haggle if you're getting a better quote elsewhere. (they even sent me a lonely planet dubai guide as a goodwill gesture worth £7 lol.) i'd definitely recommend them but you should also register with a couple of other brokers so you can compare, do this early so you have plenty of time before your payment is due. hifx are linked with select property, not sure if this is good or bad, but the cynic in me told me to deal with someone not linked to my property deal, although i'm sure hifx are good and reliable too.
