Protecting your budget against the foreign exchange market

“When it comes to buying a home in a foreign country it is surprising that currency is often given very little consideration. It isn’t as important as the location or price of the property, but it will certainly be important if you are trying to stick to a budget.” Martin Steencamp of Foreign Currency Exchange explains how to make sure that currency movements don’t give you a nasty shock when buying property overseas.

As a result, it can be hard to find exactly what you are looking for among all the ads, pop-up windows and millions of search results. The other pitfall is gauging the reliability of information you find on the web.” Russ Martin has some sound advice for would-be housebuyers.
