I have a flood of cliches coming on - you have inadvertently opened a can of worms, walked into a minefield, put the cat among the pigeons, and so on. Since the crisis of the lira in December 2014 - well perhaps as long ago as the previous crisis in January 2014, there have been lively discussions on here about whether it makes sense to put sterling into lira accounts. Some think it perfectly sound and, indeed, sensible; others, like JohnF and me, wouldn't go near the lira with a bargepole (and claim Turkish people don't either when they have a choice); and I suspect a lot of members are thoroughly confused about it and don't post. You have time before your move to read up a little on it and I would suggest you don't make any big decisions until you have some understanding of what is a stake. I might find time later on to do a demonstration sum to highlight the issue but I think you could start with a couple of threads in this Banking section - the one below this confusingly named Why is the Lira Getting Stronger?, and one a little further down about the Trauma of Changing Lira Back into Sterling.
The best of luck with it.
