This week is the best time to transfer money to Europe, The U.S, Australia and New Zealand in 2012

Simply put, it’s the best time to sell the pound and buy a number of different currencies, the Euro particularly is the best rate in over 3 years. It’s been an incredibly volatile time on the currency markets with sterling sellers able to take advantage of some of the very best rates for all currencies we have seen all ...

Simply put, it’s the best time to sell the pound and buy a number of different currencies, the Euro particularly is the best rate in over 3 years. 
 
It’s been an incredibly volatile time on the currency markets with sterling sellers able to take advantage of some of the very best rates for all currencies we have seen all year.
 
Where to start, well the pound versus euro rate has moved up to €1.24+ as troubles in the European political world continue following the Greek and French elections and the ‘end of austerity’ being voted for.
 
Although this may suit the man on the street, arguably the respective countries need an injection of cuts to help the ailing economy and see it through what many suspect will be a bumpy next few months for the Euro. Portugal, Holland, Italy and Ireland still remain on alert so the best rates that we’ve seen since December 2008 may, perhaps get a little better. 
 
Risk aversion plays a huge part in giving direction to the higher yielding currencies such as the Australian and New Zealand Dollar, with both of these weakening heavily over the last week. This move represents a fantastic time for clients to buy into the market, with a 15 cent move being seen since the lows that we saw throughout January. 
 
We’ve moved to above NZ$ 2.00 and AU$ 1.60 this week which represents a fantastic buying rate for anyone who have been waiting for a good time to purchase funds and shouldn’t be missed.

While it may seem that everything is rosy, the UK is still in a recession and this is what the government and policy makers have to contend with first. Fundamentals are not looking good, with recent UK retail sales figures being poor along with Clinton Cards being the latest notable company to fall to the relentless economic downfall. 
 
A warning to people sat with the pound and awaiting some better news may be well placed to cover at least some of their requirement sooner rather than later of course as the Bank of England prepare to meet and announce whether any change to interest rates will be introduced. This of course in unlikely, but any hint of further quantitative easing will be market moving.

France, Spain and the United States were the top search destination for would be overseas property buyers in the first three months of the year, according to the latest index from the Overseas Guides Company.

Its first quarter report shows that interest in overseas property amongst British people remains strongest in these three countries with France top with 22%, followed by Spain with 16% and the US with 15%.

The report also recorded a large overall increase in enquiries for buying abroad during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 and the same period last year.

Discounted prices, particularly in Spain and the US, could be one reason why these countries are proving popular, according to the company’s editor Richard Way.

He also pointed out that the current exchange rate is the most favourable it’s been for a year and a half for Brits exchanging pounds.[url=http://www.propertycommunity.com/property-in-france/france-continues-to-be-the-most-popular-country-with-british-overseas-buyers.html]Read more on this story from Property Community[/url]

The Dubai Land Department has unveiled new proposals for a law which will protect overseas property buyers making an investment in the emirate state.

The act will protect the interests of investors at all stages of the building and buying process, and it is hoped, will allow for a better relationship between the developer and the investor.

One of the measures will prevent developers from selling property until 20% of the project has been completed. Like many other places hit by the global recession, a number of building projects have stalled in Dubai in recent years leaving investors out of pocket. It is estimated that over 600 major building projects which should have been completed remain unfinished in the state.  The Dubai land department is now seeking to get projects moving again, with various schemes to help cash strapped developers pick up their planned builds.  Half of the unfinished building projects are likely to be completed “in due course” according to the Department.
