French Property Exhibition: 27th and 28th January 2024

First published: 5th December 2023 by Mar Bonnin-Palmer

For those of you currently purchasing a house in France or even just pondering on the idea, the French Property Exhibition is again coming to the Novotel West Hotel in London in January 2024. The show is intended to cover all the aspects of the process, including the best way to manage the foreign exchange element.

Moneycorp will be there again supporting the exhibition as the organisers preferred currency partner. Our team of foreign exchange experts will be available to you throughout the weekend to discuss the property-buying journey in France and the nuances of dealing with a foreign currency.

We can talk to you about the importance of factoring the exchange rate into the property price, the tools we offer to protect your budget and the additional payments you will need to bear in mind during the process. We want to help you understand the impact foreign exchange can have on these big purchases and how to manage the risk.

Why is foreign exchange so important?

Exchange rates are constantly fluctuating. This means that when you decide to buy a property abroad, the real-terms cost of your purchase can change with the rates. Imagine getting to the point of buying your dream property, and the price is different from when you made the offer. That’s the reality of the foreign exchange market – small changes make BIG differences when you exchange a large amount of money.

That’s why it’s essential to plan ahead and secure a reliable, experienced company to exchange your money at the beginning of the process – so you don’t get any nasty surprises.

Come and see us to ensure you are fully prepared to make your payments

At the exhibition, our expert, Mar Bonnin-Palmer, will talk about the best way to manage effectively all the payments involved in the process of buying in France.

During this session, she will explain the basics of currency exchange, the impact that rates can have on your budget, and, most importantly, what we can do to protect that budget in a volatile market.
