If the conversion rate is good, it is possible to lock in a rate known as a forward contract. For example, if the current rate was €1.20 to Sterling, then a €200,000 property would be the equivalent of €166,666. Consider 3 months later when you come to pay the balance on your property purchase, if you hadn’t locked the rate and the rate was now €1.11 you would be spending £13,514 more.
Locking your rate is optional. Remember rates can go up or down but locking may give you peace of mind when budgeting for your purchase.
