    Do you have online banking ? If so you just need SEPA details for the receiver - IBAN and BIC. You may only be able to transfer 5k per day.

    A combination of easy and relatively cheap would be good.

    I would suggest you use a provider like transferwise.com, currencyfair.com or transfermate.com for this transaction as it's going to give you a better exchange rate than simple bank account transfer.

    Sure you have to fill out a form (and possible do KYC documentation), send the money to them and it will take a day (or so) extra but you can safe money on that one.

    I don't like how the elderly are treated by modern society.

    £6000 ? for that much surely you could build an extension/granny flat onto the back of your house?

    I use currencyfair.com every month, costs 3 gbp.
    Takes me two full working days.
    Send euro to them on start of day one, cash is in my uk account end of business day two.
