Save Thousands on Your Foreign Property Purchase
Buying a property overseas is a serious undertaking and when you need to transfer funds abroad to pay for your purchase you want to be sure you’re getting the best deal possible.
So, what should you be looking out for?
Highly Competitive Exchange Rates
Using a leading foreign currency broker to manage your transfer rather than a bank could save you thousands as you’ll enjoy a more competitive exchange rate and fee-free transfers.
The exchange rate some brokers are able to secure can undercut the banks by up to 90% which can result in serious savings. If, for example, you had a £320,000 to spend on a property in France and your bank offered you a rate of 1.3327 you’d have €426,464 to spend. By achieving you a rate of 1.3740 a broker would net you €439,680, a whopping difference of €13,216. As the transfer would also be conducted on a fee-free basis you’d see even greater savings.

Expert Support
With a currency specialist on side you’ll also benefit from industry insight and regular updates covering the latest exchange rate fluctuations. Having someone keeping an eye on the market for you means you’ll know when a rate moves in your favour, or might be about to move against you, and can act accordingly.
Additionally, foreign currency brokers can talk you through the range of transfer options they offer so you can make your international currency payment work for you. When purchasing a foreign property one of the options you might want to consider is using a forward contract. With a forward contract you can fix a favourable exchange rate up to two years in advance, safeguarding your transfer from exposure to currency risk and helping you budget effectively.
Fund Security
Whether you’re moving £100 or £1,000,000, you want to feel confident that your funds are secure. Before choosing a foreign exchange provider, check that they make keeping your money safe a priority. For your peace of mind, always use a provider that’s authorised by the FCA and operates segregated client accounts. You may also want to see how they’re rated by past customers on online review sites.
