"Traditionally, anyone wanting to move a reasonable sum of money overseas would make their bank their first port of call. Nowadays, however, it’s just as easy, and perhaps easier, to use a foreign exchange broker instead, particularly if you have a large sum of money to move, maybe for a house purchase".
Daily Telegraph Sept 2010
First Rate FX provide the security of the High Street banks, without the high fees. Did you know that using your regular bank means that you will commonly be charged up to 4% more on an average currency transaction than if you use First Rate FX?
This means that on a property purchase worth Euros 100,000 your FX transaction via the banks could cost you up to £3,032 more. Our rates of exchange are the most competitive in the market place and we do not charge commission or transaction fees.
So whether you are sending regular payments overseas or making a one off currency purchase, ask the Currency Experts how you can save.

Take the worry out of the fluctuating markets - buy a forward contract
Buying a property abroad
One of the biggest considerations to buying a property abroad is the exchange rate that you will pay. During the first half of 2010 the Sterling Euro rate moved between 1.23 and 1.10. This type of fluctuation could make a big difference to the actual cost of your new property.
Securing the price that you will eventually pay for your new property by fixing the rate of exchange can take the pressure off buying abroad. After all you would not buy a property in your country of residence without knowing the price ! Why not give us a call and we can explain how you can arrange to purchase a forward contract
