A falling euro is saving Spain homebuyers thousands, but will it last?
Whether you are buying a home in Spain, retiring there, or planning a big move abroad, small shifts in the pound-euro rate can cost or gain you thousands, sometimes tens of thousands.
The pound has gained ground against the euro in recent days. In Smart Currency Exchange’s brand-new Quarterly Forecast, our specialists weigh up predictions from the world’s biggest banks to show you what is really likely for the months ahead, and how a new prime minister, interest rate decisions and global oil prices could move the exchange rate again.
Three forces are pulling at your exchange rate right now
A new prime minister at the helm
Another change of leadership brings a new economic plan, and markets are already asking what it could mean for growth, borrowing and the strength of the pound.
Interest rates and the housing market
Every Bank of England decision this quarter is a balancing act between controlling inflation and supporting growth, with knock-on effects for mortgages and the wider housing market.
Trump, Iran and the oil price
Geopolitical tension in the Middle East and US policy under President Trump continue to move oil prices, and energy costs feed straight through into inflation and the pound’s strength against the euro and dollar.
What could a shift in the pound mean for you?
Enter the amount you are planning to transfer and drag the slider to see how a rate movement changes what you actually receive.
