Ashley from A Place in the Sun was exactly what I needed when buying a property in Spain. Every query was dealt with by an immediate phone call. On the one occasion he was not in office his colleague Matt called me to answer my question. They are very knowledgeable about how the transfer of funds operates and it just made my experience completely stress free. Can not recommend this company enough, I am delighted. Pamela

I was put onto Matt from Melanie at La Sala Homes and he provided a thoroughly efficient service. Matt kept me informed of the process throughout and followed up to confirm the service. I would recommend using Matt and I will do so again in the near future.

Excellent service from start to finish, everything was explained clearly and the follow up service from Matt went above and beyond, would not hesitate to recommend this service.

Matt came recommended by a friend and true to the recommendation he was helpful, professional and did an excellent job for us. I would highly recommend Matt and will have no hesitation in passing on his details to others.

I have used A place in the Sun Currency to fund essentially the purchase of our New Home in Spain. Matt was very efficient and supportive holding my hand through the whole process. It is very stressful sending hundreds of thousands of pounds / Euro's electronically but the process via A Place in the Sun is very structured and multiple checks in the process .Once you have set up your account and sent your first small test transfer. It is easy and can be done literally with a phone call to your nominated contact. Then just send the funds from your bank in a process already tested and they do the rest. It is great to build a relationship with one person who handles all your business. I highly recommend A Place in the sun currency. Their rates are competitive and I plan to continue to use them as I transfer funds to my Spanish account for general living expenses

Noam has been a tower of strength taking me through the process of sending money from one country to another especially I am definitely a novice in the realm of finance. I would recommend A place in the Sun currency to anyone.

Ashley Finill and his colleague Michael Mitchell were very courteous, efficient, responsive with my funds transfer to both Europe and Morocco and also took re- assuring rigorous vetting security checks. The process was simple and transparent and the whole payment team were a joy to work with .

Have used the service for several transactions over the or 5 years. Having stability of contact throughout this time was very important to me. Ashley Finill now knows my requirements well, and is always quick and efficient, and a pleasure to deal with.

Place in the Sun was recommended and I dealt with Simon Eastman who was great. Never done this kind of stuff before and it can be nerve wracking. Communication from everyone I spoke to was seamless. Thank you Simon and Place in the Sun.

Exceptional service from A Place In The Sun Currency. The support and communication from Ashley was excellent and our transaction felt to be in safe hands throughout. Strongly recommend!

The whole team at A Place in the Sun was very professional and helpful. Whoever answered the call inspired confidence that it would be followed up efficiently. We first worked with Simon Eastman who was very efficient and reassuring. When Simon was out of the office one day, Paul Newfield took over our currency needs. Paul was extremely personable and was able to grasp very quickly the implications of specific transactions in connection with the Spanish bank. We felt confident that all our needs would be met by Paul's endeavours. Thank you so much A Place in the Sun you have a great team. Lizzy and Les

A friend of mine recommended I contacted Simon Eastman. I was purchasing property in Spain and had to make the date at the Notary. Simon was straight onto the process and everything went smoothly. The value for money was first class.

Transferring the proceeds of our French house sale back to the UK was rather daunting as the bank to bank rate was very poor. Our estate agent recommended 'A Place in the Sun Currency Ltd' which previous clients had already used. Still, with large sums at stake, it was an anxious time. However, after speaking to Noam Bennaiche, and understanding how the transaction would proceed, I went ahead and everything worked perfectly. Thank you for such a smooth and efficient process.

I have recently used A place in the Sun Currency, my contact Matt was brilliant, he kept in touch with me the whole way through and explained everything in a clear precise way, following everything up via email, the exchange rate was better than other offers from other companies, I would highly recommend their services.

Our property agent passed our details over to Simon a few months back to help transfer currency, and at first the thought of passing over such a large amount to “a guy on what’s app” was a daunting thought, especially due to the world we live in nowadays – unfortunately. But I’d like to say a huge thank you to Simon and a place in the sun team for such a professional and smooth transition. As this was our first time using this service, Simon was always at hand to explain any questions we had and within 24 hrs the currency was in our Cypriot bank account We’d definitely use simon again and recommend his services. 5*

I have know problem at all writing this review Regarding Mathew Boyle and a place in the sun ☀️ From the very start Matt was exceptional guiding me through the process , he put my mind at rest straight away as depositing such a large amount of money over the internet/phone is daunting ?! Everything that came up Matt had the answers plus everything that was asked for Matt was straight on to myself to get confirmation of who it was and he only ever let the money go after I'd personally approved the person/company , if I was ever in doubt he would advise ways and means to make sure my doubts concerns were answered and cleared , and then we'd move on to the next part of the journey to getting closer to our dream holiday home ! Totally professional really easy to get on with and superb all the way through our purchase of which we completed on last week👏 🇪🇸 ☀️ 🍻 Thanks again Matt and A Place in the Sun Currency team your all excellent 👌 Andrew Lauretta Louise and Charlie La Zenia Here we come !

Thoroughly satisfied with our experience with A Place in the Sun; We were referred to them by a property agent in Spain for our home search from the U.S. With an initial phone consultation we were quickly able to understand the services and benefits offered by A Place in the Sun. Their ID and account verification protocols gave us a good sense of comfort about the security of our funds. We were also pleased with the ability to facilitate timely communications despite the 8 hour time difference. This was our first experience purchasing property internationally, and A Place in the Sun helped us maintain confidence navigating an unfamiliar process.
Leo Cruz

Super helpful and responsive – gave us peace of mind when transferring large sums of money. Great customer service!
