Hi Sharon, we picked the keys up at 4:30pm from the Notaire and met the lady who’s property it was, she was very nice and very helpful too, (she also owns the neighbouring property which she plans to live in soon and said to us she will bring us photos of the house how it used to be).

Of course we went straight to the house after the signing of the paperwork, we walked in and on the fireplace was a bottle of champagne and two glasses!! how lovely !

Thanks for all your help..🌷🌺🌸🌼

Regards, Steve.

Pound Sterling has had a nice little run lately.

Against the Euro, the Pound has been trending up for the past 3 weeks.

And against the US Dollar, the Pound is getting close to 1-year highs.

No doubt there is optimism built into these rates.

The press is reporting that a Brexit trade deal may come as early as next week.

That would benefit the Pound more than the Euro, though both currencies would be expected to lift as a result.

But the gains may not last if the deal is thin on detail.

If all we get is a high-level ‘handshake’ deal (quite likely), then the reality is negotiations could continue for years to come.

That’s not going to do either currency much good.

Meanwhile, the US Dollar is grappling with election uncertainty.

We all know a smooth transition in the White House isn’t going to happen.

So expect a bumpy ride for global markets over the coming months.

The vaccine announcement from Pfizer is good news for the world in general.

It is also good news for the UK.

Pound sterling is expected to be a major beneficiary of a vaccine.

This is because the UK has struggled more than most with managing the pandemic.

Put simply, a vaccine could make a bigger difference to the British economy relative to other countries.

The Pound (GBP) is currently sitting near 1-month highs against the Euro and US Dollar.

Of course, nothing is static in currency markets.

On the horizon is the US election legal battle and the Brexit deadline.

They’re not going away…just simmering.

What should you do?

You may consider the rebound in Sterling as an opportunity to secure an improved rate and mitigate Brexit risk.

For those that need to sell Dollars or Euros, current rates are still at historically attractive levels.

Are Travel Restrictions Halting your plans?

No Problem...

Our Property Inspection Service is Back!

So several countries are back in a 'Lockdown' situation again, I hope you and your family are in good health and good spirits despite the difficult times we are all living through.

During the first Lockdown we introduced a solution to buy your property without first visiting it, ie. to buy it ‘unseen’. We actually sold more houses in March, April and May this year than in 2019, which even surprised us.

Buying 'unseen' proved very popular but for a more cautious approach, we prefer and can again offer, the service of a ‘Property Inspection’ carried out by our property surveyor, Nick Warner.

Plus due to the high demand we received, Nick now has another surveyor helping him so we can accommodate more remote property inspections for our clients.

Nick can visit up to 4 properties a day on your shortlist and inspect the properties for you against your criteria and advise on a number of important aspects so you can make a more informed decision before making an offer on your chosen house.

The fees for an inspection visit and the short report with photos by email will depend on the size and complexity of the properties selected and will be individually negotiated for each client.

If you feel that this may be a good option for you, please feel free to contact Nick Warner for further details.

In the meantime Stay Well and stay in touch!

Visit the website to contact Nick Warner direct.

Kind regards,
Sharon Evans
Founder of Clé France.
