I did it from Garanti to Halifax. There were no charges levied by Halifax. As for Garanti they charged a fee; they said no daily limit on transfers, not correct there is 30000 TRY daily limit, if I recall correctly, therefore you will pay commission charges each time you send money if you have over 30000 TRY to send. We were closing our account as well as sending money back so had to write out our instructions and sign them. As for time I sent money on consecutive days and had to wait approximately 3-4 business days before cash appeared in UK account. I did everything on line except the account closure. I was a bit miffed at the daily limit and the repeat charges but in the end just grinned and beared(?) it. HTH
