Buying your property is very often just the start of your relationship, with your specialist, as future transactions could involve monthly mortgage repayments or ad-hoc property renovations.
4. Cost savings and enhanced value
One of the most compelling advantages of using a currency specialist is the potential for significant cost savings by offering competitive rates, allowing you to get more value for your money and potentially save on transaction costs.
Here’s an example: Imagine you are purchasing a luxurious property in Spain for €400,000. If you use your bank at an exchange rate of €1.15 to £1, the cost in GBP would be £347,826. However, a currency specialist offering an exchange rate of €1.17 could reduce the cost to £341,880 - a savings of over £5,900!
In most instances, banks charge high fees and offer less favourable exchange rates, they also do not offer the same personalised service you get with a currency specialist.
So, while banks are a convenient option for many everyday financial transactions, they may not always be the most cost-effective or efficient choice for currency conversion, especially when dealing with substantial sums or complex international property purchases. It's essential to understand the service, rates and any fees offered by different providers and choose the one that best suits your specific needs and preferences.
