We’ve got a friend in the trade… no really – we have!
The name of any financial ‘game’ (money, as you know, isn’t funny!) is keeping as much of your own money in your pocket as possible throughout any transaction… It really doesn’t matter what it is and what form it takes… insurance, investment and crucially – in this instance – the conversion of your funds from one currency to another when buying a house… Currency Exchange or FX – Potentially worrying!
First suggestion from us… Don’t let your bank do it for you! In many walks of life there are comparison sites – somewhere you can go to see the market spread… In other areas – not so!
