The pound perked up yesterday, to its highest rate for a couple of weeks against both the euro and US dollar. The reason was the continuing talks between the Government and Opposition on Brexit. Whatever the mood and opinion among the Conservative and Labour Party rank and file members, it does look increasingly like the respective leaderships are seriously intent on finding a way forward and “delivering Brexit”, to repeat Theresa May’s phrase.
On the other hand, the talks could all break down again at any time and we’ll be back to an even worse place than we were before.
We can only imagine the stress that this places on anyone with plans to buy or move abroad. After all, for many this has been a long-cherished dream. We know that Brexit – in almost any form – won’t be too much of a barrier to a new life abroad, but it’s the uncertainty that is so debilitating.
Fortunately, our traders have long experience of helping people to buy abroad. Most have been here through the EU’s various crises, the Referendum and the 2017 election, all of which had profound implications for anyone with a major transaction overseas.
Having your own named personal trader at the end of the phone is a huge benefit. He or she is not just there to facilitate one of the biggest financial transactions of your life, but to talk through all your currency options. Their job, first and foremost, above all else, is to protect you, and help you make a safe and cost-effective purchase abroad.
