Best GBP/EUR Exchange Rate in 12 Months

The pound is standing its ground against the euro despite some signs of the UK housing market slowing down and the challenges of the months to come as the economy comes out from the longest lockdown so far.

We started the week seeing the rate going above 1.16 which represents the best level for the currency pair since February 2020. Great news for those looking to make a payment now or to take advantage of the current rates for a payment in the future.

However we must not forget that things could change rapidly if new circumstances –such a new strain on COVID or a relapsed on the number of infections- were to happen. It is a fragile an uncertain balance that cannot be taken for granted as we saw last year.

If you are looking at buying a property in France and you are not holding euros, the price the property will depend on the rate of exchange at the time of making the payment. The impact of the fluctuations can make or break your budget so make sure you get some guidance to plan the best way to exchange your funds by speaking to a foreign exchange specialist like moneycorp.

At moneycorp, they are used to work with property buyers from the earlier stages to help them getting familiar with the rates and knowing their options with the purpose to protect or even maximise their budget.

In fact, one of the benefits of using a specialist such as moneycorp is not only the access to competitive rates but also the ability to access some currency tools to help you planning your transfer, so for instance you can lock the rate of exchange in advance –up to two years- via a forward contract or track a rate via a market order.
