Buying Euros for a Property Purchase
There are different types of options (spot contract, forward contract, limit order) for your currency requirements, depending on the amount and timescales involved. International markets are by definition volatile and currencies fluctuate constantly, it's not easy to keep track or know where to turn to for advice. We receive enquiries daily about money transfers, mostly for euros, but also for UK pounds, dollars and other foreign currencies, for property purchases, deposits and pension money. We are also finding that professionals and companies are getting smarter with their transfers, especially for overseas invoice payments.Foreign Exchange Service
Your dedicated English speaking account manager will work with your specific schedule and keep you informed every step of the way. They can for example notify the notary in France when your funds have been transferred to their account in a timely manner. You will not have to endure the frustrating automated call answering service with your bank and going around the app on your smartphone, to learn that after all, it is not that easy to make overseas payments with a high-street bank.Expert Advice and Great Rates

Top Money Expert Saving Tip!
It's a smart move to plan ahead and set up your currency trading account before embarking on your property viewing trip. Doing so will demonstrate to both the vendor and the estate agent that you are motivated and organised. In this market, with French banks not supplying mortgages and sellers seeking cash buyers, this step becomes more critical. Vendors are wary of buyers who need to sell before they can buy, they are looking for motivated buyers who are ready to commit. So, having an account already set up could significantly increase your chances of negotiating a better price for your dream property.
