Sterling's Rise Improves UK Buyers Holiday Home & Retirement Buying Opportunities! 🔔⏳🙏
Been waiting for the pound to rise against the euro to buy your property in the sun? Wait no longer! Now is the time to find your home or property investment abroad and make your move.
*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*
Been waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more for your pounds to revalue against the euro? The last few days has seen huge growth in the GBP/EUR exchange rate, with record highs of 1.154 - the strongest it's been since spring 2017! Furthermore, predictions from industry specialists point towards a further weakening of the euro in the upcoming days.
With property values increasing in Portugal, the pound back in good position, mortgage financing being as affordable as it is, and interest rates as low as 1.75%, we seem to be in the midst of a 'perfect storm' for overseas real estate investments. These different elements combined create a wonderful backdrop for buyers looking to take the plunge, whether it be for rental investment returns, relocating for a new lifestyle or having a holiday home in the sun.
The numbers are speaking for themselves with the pound recovering from its low point last September to the tune of 7.5%! The current revaluing provides an opportunity for buyers to bag a fantastic property without feeling the sting of a low exchange rate. Here is an example of how buying now could save you money on your purchase...
A typical property in the Algarve might sell for approximately €200,000. In September 2017 when the rate dropped to a lowly 1.086, it would have cost just over £184,000. At today's rate of 1.154 the same property would cost £172,000 - a difference of £12,000 in your pocket!
If you're a savvy real estate investor looking for pockets of upward opportunity that also come lined with favourable exchange and interest rates - you know timing is key. To help you dig deeper and to navigate the process, we have a currency specialist available to help answer all your questions - get in touch!
