Your trading options for 200,000 GBP to EUR:

For a £200,000 GBP to EUR trade on the day, or in the very near future, most clients use a spot trade to convert their pounds to euros. This is the simplest and most direct way to make an immediate transaction at today’s exchange rate.

See the step-by-step process for making a 200,000 GBP/EUR trade here.

Forward contract

Due to the extended and complex nature of a typical 200,000 GBP to EUR transaction, a forward contract will often be more appropriate.

A forward contract allows you to pay a small deposit to lock in today’s exchange rate for a certain length of time, usually a year.

That way, if during the legal processes for buying a property abroad, for example, the exchange rate changes, you will still be able to transfer your 200,000 GBP to EUR at the rate you agreed.
