Transfer money when selling a property abroad

Reasons to transfer money

Selling a home abroad can come with a lot of moving parts – especially when it comes to transferring the proceeds back to another country. The key is to have the right guidance to help manage fluctuating exchange rates during the process of the sale, where timings can be uncertain.

Here to support you

Engage with a currency expert at the start of your sale

When you’re selling a property abroad, the paperwork and logistics alone can feel like a challenge before you even get to transferring the proceeds of sale. Having an experienced currency specialist involved early on can offer valuable support and help you make informed decisions from the start.

Managing the process of selling property

When selling property overseas, it’s common for there to be a significant delay between accepting an offer and completing the sale. In some cases, deposits are paid along the way, especially when the buyer is purchasing from another country.

During that time, exchange rates can shift significantly. Currencies fluctuate constantly and it’s not unusual to see a 10% swing within a year. If you wouldn’t commit to buying a property that could cost 10% more by completion, why risk losing that much when converting the proceeds of your sale?

At Smart Currency, we help you reduce that risk by planning ahead and making sure you avoid losing money unnecessarily on your property sale.

We’ll stay in touch throughout the sale, working around key dates like exchange and completion – even if those details are still being finalised. Our team help you stay one step ahead to ensure you are ready to transfer when you need to, reducing the risk of delays or extra costs.
