Buying a home abroad

Emigrating

Carmen Valente-purchasing property in Florida, USA.

1. Buying a Home abroad
After several visits to Florida with the family I decided it was the place where I wanted to invest in a property abroad. I started by looking on the internet and contacted several different property agents based in Florida and eventually found one who I wanted to work with to assist me in my property purchase.
2. Advice for others on buying
Research – you can’t do enough! Speak to several different property agents and IFA’s before committing to paying the reservation fee. View the same property with a couple of different property agents to get the best discount. Speak to No1 Currency as soon as you have secured your property. They will advise you of the currency movements and offer guidance should you wish to secure a rate for a forward contact
3. The money transfer
I was recommended to No1 Currency through a work colleague. My intention was to use my Bank to complete my currency transfer, but after speaking to the James at No1 Currency and then to my bank I calculated savings of £5k by using No1 Currency for my initial 30% deposit. It is key you speak to a foreign currency specialist at the early stages of your securing your property purchase.
4. How No1 Currency Helped
I now send regular payments overseas to cover my mortgage payment, maintenance costs etc and regardless of how large or small my transaction is the staff at No1 Currency are always very helpful. No1 Currency also keep me up to date with the market movements by sending me a copy of their morning commentary

What do our clients say?

As soon as we started planning the move last March, I began to consider the implications. The best financial advice I can offer anyone is to look at the market and remember that you do have an alternative to the high street banks.

Overall, No1 Currency saved me a significant amount of money - especially in comparison with the high street banks - in terms of charges and foreign exchange rates.
