Secure More From Your Sale with Smart Currency Strategies
When selling a property abroad, or even selling locally with international financial ties, foreign exchange can be a pivotal part of the process. Currency markets move constantly, and fluctuations between offer and completion can have a significant impact on the final amount you receive. For sellers looking to repatriate funds, reinvest internationally, or simply secure the strongest return possible, having a well-timed foreign exchange strategy is not just smart – it’s essential.
At Downtown, we help sellers avoid the hidden costs of currency transfers by partnering with expert FX providers who offer market-leading rates, tailored solutions, and fast, secure international transactions. With a proactive approach to currency planning, you can protect yourself from market volatility and ensure your sales proceeds are working as hard as they can for you – wherever in the world you need them to be.
Maximise the Value of Your Sale
Whether you’re selling a holiday home, liquidating an overseas asset, or downsizing and returning funds to your country of residence, foreign exchange can play a crucial role in how much you ultimately receive. Our specialist partners ensure you can:
Access Competitive, Real-Time Rates
Better than standard bank offerings, with no hidden fees or wide spreads.
Protect Your Sale
Proceeds
Lock in rates in advance with forward contracts to avoid market surprises before completion.

Confidence
Fast, trackable, and fully secure international transfers tailored to your destination and currency needs.
Tailored FX Strategies for Sellers
Selling property isn’t just a transaction—it’s often part of a broader financial journey. Whether you’re purchasing a new home elsewhere, transferring funds to family, or reallocating your capital, we help you align your FX strategy with your post-sale goals.
Bespoke Currency Planning
Every transaction is different. We assess your timeline, currency pair, and exposure to provide a tailored solution.
Forward Thinking, Forward Contracts
If you're selling in a few months' time, forward contracts allow you to lock in a favourable exchange rate today, even if the market moves later.
Informed Timing
With guidance from FX experts, you’ll receive updates on rate trends and market conditions, helping you choose the right time to convert.
Integrated Sale Support
We coordinate closely with your agent, solicitor, and financial adviser to ensure a seamless, end-to-end process.
Why Not Just Use a Bank?
Traditional high street banks typically offer less competitive exchange rates, slower processing times, and limited strategic guidance. With our FX specialists, you benefit from:
Tighter Margins
Better rates with transparent pricing.
Speed and Security
Transfers that arrive where and when they should.
Market Insight
Real-time guidance on when to buy, sell, or hold.
Dedicated Support
A real person to talk to, every step of the way.
