When buying property overseas many people fail to realise just how important the currency exchange aspect of the property purchase is and how banks are not your best friend! The slightest exchange rate fluctuation can make a huge difference in the pocket! One way of looking at it is that you would never buy a house in your home country without knowing how much it is going to cost you, and until you have locked into a rate of exchange you simply have no idea how much your dream home in Portugal will eventually cost!
