Currency Exchange- an advertising feature by Axia FX

Overseas Property Purchase

If you are purchasing a property overseas, be it for investment a holiday home or your impending retirement, you are almost certainly going to have to convert your money into a different currency. The amount of money that you need to purchase your property will depend on the exchange rate. This is where Axia Fx can help.

Saving you money

As we are specialists in the field of Foreign Exchange, we can offer you a rate of exchange better than that achieved at your bank. This means your property overseas may not cost you as much as you budgeted for.

To save you even more money, we won’t charge you to transfer your money overseas (compared to your bank who will charge you approximately £25 for the privilege) and there is no commission. Also, we have arrangements with international banks to ensure you are not charged to receive your money overseas.

Service you will not get from your Bank

Axia Fx prides itself on the service it can give you, helping you make it easy and stress free to purchase that overseas property. You will have a Personal Account Manager, who will get to know your needs and will advise you accordingly. This avoids the situation with your bank where you will be passed from person to person who do not understand your needs.

Your Personal Account Manager is experienced in Foreign Exchange and trained to help you, from picking the right time to trade to the details you need to transfer your money overseas.

Looking at the big picture

We understand that you may need to send one off small amounts of money to help you purchase your overseas property. This may be to pay a Lawyer or for some furniture. Axia Fx will be happy to transfer these monies for you regardless of the amount and at no extra cost, as we understand the big picture of purchasing overseas.

There are many reasons you may be at the mercy of exchange rates, be it the purchase of a property overseas, starting a new life abroad or maybe making regular payments. Whatever your reason Axia Fx will save you money and give you a service that takes the stress and hassle out of Foreign Exchange.

No matter how much money you are purchasing, the smallest move in the exchange rate can either make it more expensive or cheaper for you. Due to the large amounts of money we trade daily, and due to the fact we specialise in Foreign Exchange, you can achieve exchange rates that the banks don’t offer by using our service.

For Example on the 3rd of April 2006 a High Street Bank was offering an exchange rate of 1.41 for a client who was purchasing Euros and selling £100,000. Axia Fx would have offered the client an exchange rate of 1.4422.

This would have saved the client £2,232.

You will have a designated Personal Account Manager who is experienced in Foreign Exchange, who will get to know your needs and will advise you accordingly. This avoids the situation where you will be passed from person to person who do not understand your needs.

Whatever your needs your Personal Account Manager will be happy to help. You may want some guidance on what important economic data is being released that could affect the exchange rate. Alternatively, your estate agent may be telling you something you don’t understand and you would like your Personal Account Manager to call the agent.
