The currency market

The currency market

Currency and finance are key parts of managing any international property and being aware of the options open to you is equally as important. Dealing with a Portugal Property Currency Specialist can be of real value. Our partners LUMON, offer value-adding services to make transfers easy, quick and cost-effective.

Steve Eakins, a Director at LUMON commented recently ‘we are seeing a real increase in demand for our specialist service, especially from international property owners as they continue to look for the best ways to manage the costs of the property.’ He went on to explain why now; ‘clients are commenting that due to the large movements in exchange rates they are wary and want to ensure they get the best service at the best price.’

Tools from specialist firms range from rate alerts to spike notifications, automatic buy instructions when rates are reached and being able to buy forward, (securing current rates without all the funds being available.)

Be very aware of the movement of the currency market and how that could impact your running costs or project budgets:
