Specialist Foreign Exchange

When buying property abroad, check the exchange rate - it is equally as important as negotiating the sale price. Purchasers of property abroad are always keen to negotiate a good price, but most fail to realise that they can achieve significant savings by receiving the best currency exchange rates.
Through our business partnership with a specialist brokers, we are able to offer a choice of immediate or forward contracts to secure your Euros against Sterling.
Allez Fran硩s has a dedicated dealer able to offer an exceptional service.

A forward contract is especially worthy of consideration if a purchase is not immediate. It can be bought at a pre-determined rate from 3 days to 2 years ahead. The rates achieved will aggressively undercut High Street banks and other sources. Currency is transmitted by priority telegraphic transfer to anywhere in the world.

Our dealers offer a simple straightforward solution for all commercial Foreign Exchange requirements. To utilise the service you will have to register by submitting your name, address, contact numbers, date and signature on the application form below. This process takes just minutes and can be done online using the form below. Once your completed document is received, credit control will allocate a personal account reference and number. This will entitle you to buy or sell currency over the telephone without putting any money "upfront".

The Foremost Currency Group do not charge any fees or commission for the service. All transactions are sent via priority telegraphic transfer and on sums over 50,000, funds are transferred free of charge, (under 50,000 a flat fee of 15.00 is included.) Payment in settlement can be made by cheque, bankers draft, bank transfer or same day transfer.

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of each step?

  • How do interest rates compare?

  • What special terms are available at the moment?

  • Will life insurance be compulsory?

We have established links with leading lenders in France and will be happy to discuss your requirements. Normally, we are remunerated by the lender, so it is unlikely that a fee will be payable for this service.
