brittany property specialists, find your breton homes

Watch out - there's a banker about!
We are used to hearing some frightening stories. Not only is there an atmosphere of mistrust about bankers at the moment BUT... using their services to exchange your funds into Euros can cost you much more than using a currency exchange house (as much as £3,000 to £4,000 more for every £100,000 exchanged)...
Now there's a sobering thought. So...don't wait until you find the house before you get your 'financial' ducks in a row...

It's never too soon to think about the Money side of things
We have been running our business for eight years and, during that time, we have been contacted by dozens of people who would love to do one of two things for our clients...1. Organise your mortgage for buying that dream home...and then
2. Convert your funds from Sterling to Euros. And, let's face it these things are not DIY jobs. So let us help you cut through the jungle and the red tape...

Personally we have NEVER felt comfortable about matters financial (always looking for the catch) and this is why we are (after all of these approaches) very happy and very relaxed about passing on information about just two people on to our clients who have proved that they are the right people to deal with...
Here are their details...Don't forget to tell them we sent you!

The following snippet is reprinted from a piece in 'The Daily Telegraph'
on 21.09.09 by Nick Collins...
When it comes to exchanging money, it is easy to feel cornered by banks who seem to have no aim other than skimming the cream off your transaction before it is even completed • But specialist currency exchange brokers say they can provide an alternative to high street banks, offering specialist advice and better rates with fewer charges. "To take advantage of these services you generally need to be transferring a large amount of money, or making regular transfers of smaller amounts such as pensions or mortgage payments, said Adam Bobroff, director of the Foremost Currency Group".
