Are you too prepared for your move to France??

Never…. Here at moneycorp, we want clients to be as informed as possible throughout their move to France, while also keeping it simple, so you can enjoy the fun bits of buying abroad.  

Many people may not consider the need for a currency specialist until the point of transaction. But leaving it that late will increase the risk of stings in the market when you come to move your funds.   

If you are over 12 months away from your purchase it is always a good idea to have your eyes on the market and with the option to subscribe to the FrenchEntrée currency update you can gain all the relevant information on a weekly basis. This information is digestible and relevant to the French markets, so you receive exactly what you need. Subscribe here.  

If you are within 12 to 6 months of buying your property, we always recommend opening an account. By doing so you get access to a market specialist who can talk you through your options and how best to manage your transfer.   

With your account we can help you manage the transfer of deposits, regular mortgage payments and rent all from your moneycorp account while waiting to set up your new bank account in France, giving you peace of mind that your budget is secure and handled.   

Budgeting is important as with the volatile market, the budget can impact your opportunity to buy abroad so therefore having conversations earlier and understanding our range of tools can help you understand, and manage the risk involved. Occasionally maximising the budget too.   

It goes without saying, that at any point in your journey to moving to France, we are always available to speak to you should you have any questions. Simply email partners@moneycorp.com and a member of our team will come back to you as soon as possible.
