Don’t Buy Property Abroad Without Us!

Should you be buying your dream retirement or holiday home overseas or intend to invest in international property, you’ll want to make sure you maximise your purchasing power and buy your property at the lowest cost to you.

When buying a home overseas, you’ll almost certainly be expected to pay for the property in foreign currency – often in several stages.  Therefore it’s worth remembering at this stage that the price of a property differs from the cost of the property.  The cost to you and therefore how much you pay in Pounds sterling to buy the property will depend on the exchange rate you buy your foreign currency at.

Consequently, it’s important to choose the right time to convert your funds into the new currency.  If you don’t pick the ideal exchange rate, your property could cost you much more than you expected.  Consider the following example:

A European property priced at €250,000 would have cost you only £169,860 at the start of March 2006 but £175,350 by the end of the month.  That’s an increase of £5,490 in only one month – and it’s solely due to exchange rate fluctuations.

To mitigate these currency risks, Bridge Property International highly recommend the services of currency experts Halo Financial.
