Moving House The Practicalities

 

People often ask "How much does it cost to buy a house" "How long does it take to buy a house and move in" "How much money do you need to buy a house"

However one question that many buyers who purchase abroad never ask is whats the exchange rate?. It’s a fact that not preparing to buy a property where there is a foreign currency exchange is a gamble. Foreign currency fluctuations can end up costing a buyer thousands. Not preparing to fix your currency rates and simply using your local bank means that you could be victim to some hefty currency fees. Its always wise to compare currency brokers and in most cases use a specialist broker. But it does not stop there, paying bills each month from one currency to there next can also cost you more.
