Welcome to a special interim newsletter, that does not actually feature any of our properties.

You can of course still view these via our website www.allez-francais.com but this newsletter is specifically focusing on the current opportunity to take advantage of high Euros rate for anyone planning to buy in 2007. 

Our currency partners, the Foremost Currency Group have helped us prepare this special newsletter and are waiting to help you if you are seriously considering a move in 2007.

GBP/EUR at 2 ½ Year High
Euro Rates to 1.50 & Beyond! Now’s the Time to Book Forward

Buying a property abroad can be an exciting and liberating experience, offering the opportunity to live in a different culture with a different pace of life and not least the promise of a warmer year round climate!
 
The dream of an idyllic foreign property can quite easily become a reality; however preparations need to be made to ensure that it is achieved at an affordable price. In amongst the discussions with the property agents, the solicitors and the removal men, the arrangement of currency matters are often left to the last minute and to the mercy of the high street banks.

The dedicated team at the Foremost Currency Group www.foremostcurrencygroup.com can help overseas buyers guide their way through the unpredictable currency markets. With a wealth of experience in the currency markets, the company is a highly focused brokerage, where each new client is offered a dedicated account manager who specialises solely in the foreign exchange markets, thus ensuring the best price and service.

The Currency Markets are one the most volatile markets where huge market movements are commonplace. Only a brief glance at the graph below clearly illustrates this point.

To put this in context by looking at the financial impact this can have, if you observe the difference between the high point and the low point on the graph based on the purchase of a €200,000 property, this would mean the difference of over £5,400.00 either in you pocket or lost within the fluctuations of the currency market.

With this in mind, securing you currency can often feel like ‘the luck of the draw’ as to when you buy your currency.

Whilst it is impossible to predict the future the friendly team at the Foremost Currency Group can use market tools at their disposal to protect your investment and prevent losses against market movement. By using a forward contract, (meaning that a client can secure the rate at which they buy their currency up to two years in advance), a client will know exactly how much their property will cost them, and take full advantage of the current 2 ½ year highs and most importantly they will be protected from any adverse market movements.

The Group’s Trading Manager Adam Bobroff commented, “The most important thing to remember is not to leave things to the last minute as often this can be costly! Overseas buyers should give themselves enough time so that we can discuss their needs and expectations thoroughly, so we can tailor the service we provide to them specifically achieving the best levels of exchange possible.”

The process of purchasing currency through the Foremost Currency Group is designed to be completely transparent and stress free. Adam Bobroff at the Foremost Currency Group will discuss the precise needs of you the client so that he can tailor the service to match your needs. Currency is sourced at a cheaper rate of exchange than can be achieved by the banks and this saving is passed directly on to the client. Give Adam a call on 01442 875 777 to discuss your requirements.

We have also joined forces with France’s No 1 mortgage broker to secure the very best deals for any clients looking to source a mortgage here in France. Buying a home in France could not be easier!

We hope to see you soon.
