After conducting research and asking around for advice on the safest, most cost effective and securest ways to transfer funds, they turned to Smart Currency Exchange.

“Lesley and I had spent quite some time reading FranceBuyingGuide.com when trying to learn as much as possible about making a success of our house purchase. When we finally found our dream property and we had to prepare to pay the deposit, they were the first people we asked for advice on the best way to transfer our money and they put us on to Smart”.

Russell continues “The house was just perfect – a character property located in the middle of nowhere in the Limousin – just what we had been searching for. We were desperate for the process to go smoothly because we had really found our dream home and couldn’t bear the idea of anything going wrong!”

“The transfer of our funds was so quick and easy. Our trader, David Comber helped us to transfer €6,000 and then a further €65,000 to pay the remaining balance. The thing that appealed to us the most about the service what that is was simple and secure and when you team that, with the advice that we were offered from start to finish about how to obtain the best rates, we couldn’t be any more happy with Smart’s service. And do you know what the best thing is? We are now proud owners of a beautiful house in France”.
