We attended our first Your Overseas Home show of the year earlier in the month. It’s an international property show, but a little different in that it’s for people who are really committed to buying a property abroad and are in the final throes of their decision making. One couple bought a home in Portugal on the Tuesday after the show, which was on a Saturday, using us for their currency transfer of course. (Why not, when we have just recaptured the number one spot on Trustpilot for transferring money!)
Still, that’s pretty fast moving even with today’s super-efficient and dedicated property lawyers (who are also at the show, you can get tickets for upcoming shows here).
It shows that some people are just getting on with their plans. We also heard from experts at the show that healthcare options are opening up in Spain, and no doubt will elsewhere too. The British retiree market is just too good an opportunity for business – and governments – to miss out on.
This week we’ll continue to follow the Brexit debacle at Westminster. The small and uncertain movements of the pound recently show that even financial analysts don’t have the faintest idea where we will end up by this time next week.
This will be a critical week though, with the potential for a strong downward movement in the value of the pound. So if you wish to be like that couple currently looking forward to an amazing life on the Algarve, do call your trader today on 020 8108 5163 and discuss your currency options.
What do you have to lose?
