Currency Exchange Made €@$¥ Working in the property market here in France, it is strange to find that purchasers of property in France are always keen to negotiate a good price on the house of their dreams, but then fail to appreciate that great savings can be made by ensuring that they receive the best exchange rate from £ into €uros. We tend to shop around for most things in life, but when it comes to currency, most people simply head straight for the bank. The currency markets are notoriously volatile: for example between December 2000 and January 2001 the cost of a property in France would have increased by over 6% in less than 3 weeks. Purchasers can avoid these pitfalls if they use a specialist currency broker who can explain the various methods of avoiding risk. We recommend all of our clients to use our chosen currency experts Foreign Currency ~ direct. They do not have a crystal ball, but currency trading is their business and they are the leading experts in their field. Depending upon the size of a transaction the potential gain could amount to a very tidy sum, but no matter what happens, you are always protected against any negative exchange rate movements that could leave you out of pocket. It is possible to lock into exchange rates when rates are especially beneficial. Our business partners at Foreign Currency Direct can do this at no cost to you at all. Don’t fall into the trap of not getting the best deal for your money. Take expert guidance and use a specialist currency dealer. We have every confidence that Foreign Currency Direct will ensure that you get the best deal and give you the peace of mind to enable you to concentrate upon the other matters associated with property purchase. For people living here in France already, many lose out by getting their UK bank to remit money to their French bank on a regular basis - not realising that they could get a better deal by ‘shipping’ the money in bigger chunks via a specialist dealer. Peter Elias of Allez Français arranges currency for clients every week and has application forms and £100 cashback vouchers available for readers of Impressions magazine. To qualify for the cashback, you must have a single transaction of £125,000 or more. Allez Français is always pleased to hear from potential clients with property to sell or those looking to buy.
