HIFX -

Buying a property in France as a foreigner means that you will be subject to currency risk and the vagaries of the international money markets when transferring Pounds and US Dollars (or any other currency) into Euros. The High Street Banks are an expensive way of moving money between currencies as they charge above the commercial rate and then add their own bank charges on top.

So how do you get the commercial rate that merchant banks and currency traders use? Well the answer is to go to a currency trader who operates on the global foreign exchange market and who specialises in domestic currency hedging. Companies like this could save you many thousands of Pounds (or any other currency) compared to a High Street Bank, ultimately reducing the cost of your property.
