Those ready to buy are able to take advantage of the discounts available in many international markets. Chesterton continues to seize opportunities as the year progresses. We are thrilled to add Cape Town to our overseas network. The football World Cup has given unprecedented exposure to the beautiful country of South Africa and we are already seeing an increase in buyer interest for property in this part of the World. This edition of our International Property Collection has within it some of the best property available in any market. Whether you are looking to buy or sell, our specialist International department and colleagues around the Globe are ready to help you navigate an ever more complex international property market.

More and more private individuals are looking to purchase or sell property and other overseas assets. Many who already own an overseas property will be paying monthly payments on a foreign mortgage. Others who have decided to live overseas have their pensions transferred into the local currency. Foreign exchange plays a large part in many people’s financial planning. Many people who are purchasing or selling an overseas property or asset are at the mercy of the currency markets and so never know from one day to the next what they are either paying or receiving in monetary terms. The currency markets are driven by speculation, geo political events, economic fundamentals and outlook, interest rate yield differentials and sentiment to name a few drivers. As an example of market volatility the UK Pound
fell from 1.4500 in the summer of 2007 to 1.0350 at the end of 2008. That is a movement of 28.5% or in monetary terms, for every 100,000 Euros which needed to be purchased the cost had risen from ÂŁ68,965.51 to ÂŁ96,618.35. Of course, that is an extreme movement over a 16 month period but anyone who had planned to purchase a property in Europe over that period had to seriously adjust their budgets & expectations. Better news for euro buyers so far this year in that Sterling has appreciated from around 1.1000 in March to the current levels of 1.20++ an upward movement of around 10% but where there is a winner there is a loser....in this case those looking to sell their European properties and convert the sale proceeds back from Euros to Sterling are now looking at less Pounds for their money than in the spring.
So what can be done to help
mitigate such market volatility & financial risks? A currency broker at Baydonhillfx will not only guide you through the currency buying / selling process but also help you implement a strategy of risk control. Many asset sale / purchases take many months to come to fruition and one way of guaranteeing a foreign exchange price is to enter into a forward contract whereby a rate of exchange that is derived from the current rate of exchange is carried forward to a point into the future normally for a maximum of 24 months. This type of contract would require a deposit. The upside to a forward contract is that if the rate of exchange was to fall against you over the period then you would be protected against that fall as a price had been guaranteed for a fixed period of time. The downside to a forward contract is the reverse. Should the rate of exchange appreciate over the forward period then you would miss out on that additional gain as once again a price has been guaranteed for a period of time. Sometimes it is beneficial not to rush into the market but entrust a currency dealer to either rate watch or enter into a limit order. A rate watch service is where a dealer is instructed to just watch the market perhaps
with a price target in mind and should there be any intraday spikes or falls in the value of a currency the dealer will call and let you know what is happening. A limit order is where a price which is not currently available is given to a dealer to try and achieve. If that price is reached then the contract is automatically executed in the market. Any one or combination of the above is available through Baydonhillfx. Baydonhillfx has helped tens of thousands of people buy and sell international currency over the last ten years and is now one of the major providers of foreign exchange in the UK. We offer a bespoke, confidential service where we can save you up to 4% when compared against your high street bank on commercial size foreign exchange transactions.
