CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE Current exchange rates have recently been fluctuating and in recent months the pound has fallen against the euro by about 15%. This may not seem so favourable from the UK purchaser point of view but please read this special article on the price of Asturian property. click here

Care must be taken to ensure that there are no hidden charges when making transfers from one currency to another. Please contact us for further advice on how best to approach the exchange rate and transfer issues.

 

 

MORTGAGES Euro mortgage rates are currently comparing favourably with those in the UK, but be sure to make the correct decision when mortgaging a property abroad. The lending criteria in Spain has historically been different to that in the UK and now that the UK mortgage crisis is upon us it may be time to consider that euro mortgage as an alternative option. Our in-house financial advisor can provide further information on the best way to structure a mortgage to suit individual requirements.

 

 

INSURANCE Make sure that you have your home in Spain properly insured. We are able to advise on competitive quotes for house and contents insurance. Some owners may have to consider public liability insurance as well.
