If you’re buying or selling a property here in Spain, we have the expertise and the buying power to ensure you benefit from a maximum return on your sterling.
When you're buying or selling a property abroad whether as a holiday home, permanent residence or investment; it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the property and forget about the impact of the exchange rate on your transaction. As exchange rates fluctuate so much this can have a huge effect on the cost of your property.
We can save you as much as 3% on the price of your property, money which you can use to renovate the property or buy a car. As well as benefitting from bank-beating exchange rates you can also protect yourself against fluctuations in the market by booking a forward contract. When venturing into the deep end of buying or selling a property abroad, wouldn’t you like to know exactly what the property is going to cost you in sterling from the initial deposit right through to the final payment when contracts are exchanged? A forward contract can provide this stability.
We have helped 200,000 people buy and sell a property abroad - many of them in Spain - so we have the expertise to help you through the payment process every step of the way. Our friendly team know how to explain what you need to do in plain English and they will help you throughout your payment journey, many of our representatives ‘on the ground’ have been through the process personally and can impart their local knowledge. It's a good idea to register with us when you first start looking at properties, there’s no obligation and registration is free. When you do find your property you will be ready to trade immediately.
