Whether you are buying in Spain, France, Florida or exploring exciting new destinations such as Bulgaria or Croatia, exchange rates shift minute by minute. This means the price your developer or agent quotes you today may not be the price you eventually pay for your home.

Research recently carried out in the UK shows that the currency fluctuations add an average of £7,000 to the price of a typical overseas property and in some cases, it could be more. Are you covered against the risk?

Travelex Personal Transfers offers:

• Commercial exchange rates
• A dedicated trader
• You can lock rates up to 2 years in the future* (also known as a rate guarantee or forward contract)
• Easy to open a no-obligation trading account

Buying a property outside your own country takes time. Legal processes and local red tape can slow things down. Your agent may quote a price based on the average or approximate exchange rate. Buying can also be quite stressful when you have so much to think about. Travelex is in the ideal position to help smooth the way to your dream home and save you money.

"I had no idea that transferring money overseas could be so easy until Travelex helped us purchase a winter home in Florida, USA. The friendly service was swift and efficient, at a much lower cost than our bank or other agencies. Highly recommended!" Tony Harrowell, York.
