Let Nick do the Property Viewings For You

I hope you and your family are in good health and good spirits despite the difficult times we are all currently experiencing.

Recently we introduced a solution to buy your property without first visiting it, ie. to buy it ‘unseen’.

This has proved very popular but for a more cautious approach we can now offer the service of a ‘Property Inspection’ by our property surveyor, Nick Warner.

Nick can visit 5 properties 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.

For roughly the same price as a full structural survey on one property you will get feedback with photos and Nick's personal opinion on 5 (within the same sector).

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

In the meantime Stay Well,

We’ll stay in touch!

Visit the website to contact Nick Warner direct.

Kind regards,

The Pound to Euro rate has been erratic over the last few months.

It plunged in mid-March, staged a big comeback in April, and faded through May and June.

In July, the rate has been climbing again...so far.

Given all the uncertainty we face from global risk events, the heightened volatility in exchange rates is expected.

But it doesn’t have to be a negative.

For those holding Pounds or Euros, it’s more of an opportunistic market.

The upside from volatility is that it gives you a chance to capture a better rate by keeping a close eye on the daily fluctuations.

No one has a crystal ball, but a taking a passive approach right now could see you miss the best opportunities.

Why not get in touch so we can structure a plan and discuss a strategy.

As part of our service, Key Currency can monitor exchange rates for you, help make sense of your budget and find you the most suitable currency solution.

The French property buying season begins (finally)

Great news…

France is expected to be included in the first wave of ‘air bridges’ starting 6th July.

Flights to France will commence daily.

It’s expected there will be a rush of British property buyers.

Earlier this month, Rightmove reported that UK searches for French property are 33% higher than last year.

While local experts say they don’t expect a fire sale of French property, some sellers will undoubtedly be open to offers.

Now is the time to get serious about restarting plans, especially for retirees abroad, with the Brexit transition period ending soon.

One thing to note…

When you make an offer on a French property, you are committed to that price in Euros, no matter what happens to the Pound.

With many threats to the Pound at the moment, we would suggest speaking to our currency partner: Key Currency.

Key Currency can monitor exchange rates for you, help make sense of your budget and find you the most suitable currency solution.

The Pound has lost a lot of value against the Euro recently.

It finished last week at its lowest level since late March.

It’s partly because the Eurozone economies are further along in the ‘opening’ process.

But it’s also because Brexit has become a thorny issue again.

Put simply, GBP is getting hit on two fronts: Coronavirus and Brexit.

It creates short-term and long-term uncertainty.

However, the Pound looks to be gaining some much-needed support as the latest Brexit talks have a “new momentum” according to the politicians.

For those holding Euros...

Perhaps you have an offer on your French property and will be soon selling your euros back into your home countries currency?

It could be a good time to take advantage of the Pound’s weakness.

The potential for large unexpected movements in currencies this year are high, so current levels can’t be taken for granted.

Desperate times for call for desperate measures.

The UK economy has shrunk by 24.5% according to the ONS, a scale never before seen before in history.

As a result, the Bank of England is now considering the mind boggling: “negative” interest rates.

This could have serious knock-on effects for the Pound.

Falling interest rates weaken a currency. Negative rates are far more extreme.

The Pound has been resilient recently as Coronavirus data has improved. However, economic reality awaits.

What Should You do?

As currency specialists, we appreciate our clients want to get the best rate possible.

But often sitting back and hoping for a certain rate in the future can be counterproductive and costly.

We can help structure a plan, discuss levels to aim for or ways to mitigate your currency risk.
