Here to support you
Engage with a currency expert at the start of your buying journey
The process of buying a property can feel daunting even before thinking of the finances. Having a trusted currency expert onside early in the buying process to offer the right support and guidance can be invaluable.
Managing the property buying process
Just like with buying a property in the UK, there is often a long delay between your offer being accepted and your completion date – often with a deposit required in between for foreign buyers buying property in another country.
Currencies are fluctuating by the second, and can change by up to 10% in the space of a year. You wouldn’t commit to buying a property in the UK which will be 10% more expensive on the date of completion, so why do it with an overseas property?
Smart Currency will help you avoid those additional costs.
Choose Smart
We can schedule calls around your offer, deposit, and completion dates – even if those timings are still uncertain. Our goal is to give you peace of mind, working proactively behind the scenes to ensure your transfers are made on time and avoid unnecessary costs.
With over £12 billion transferred for clients over the past 20 years, we’ve seen almost every scenario. Our experienced team focuses on helping you make informed decisions and manage the risks of fluctuating currency markets.

“When we decided to get a bolthole in France, the ‘how to’ got quite challenging with notaires, estate agencies etc… I would always use SMART and highly recommend the company. Big sums of money are quite anxiety making challenges and Rhys took all that away from us. Absolute star. Great company.
