FX at Every Stage of the Property Purchase
Where Currency Exchange Matters for Property Buyers
From the moment a buyer makes an offer to the day they complete, exchange rates directly affect the true cost of their purchase. Specialist FX advice makes a measurable difference at every stage.
Budgeting in Base Currency
Understanding the true cost of a property before committing to an offer.
Forward Contract Rate Lock
Locking in an exchange rate to protect the buyer’s budget through to completion.
Competitive Deposit Transfer
Spot or forward rate execution for the initial deposit at better-than-bank rates.
Final Balance Payment
Smooth, on-time execution of the completion balance at the agreed rate.
What Your Buyers Gain
Tangible FX Savings. Genuine Peace of Mind.
Introducing your international property clients to Cambridge Currencies is more than a referral — it’s a measurable service enhancement that sets you apart.
Meaningful Savings on Large Transfers
A 1% rate improvement on a £50,000 property transfer saves your buyer over £500. On a £500,000 purchase the saving is over £5,000 — with no additional cost to them or to you.
Rate Certainty to Completion
Forward contracts allow buyers to lock in an exchange rate for up to 12 months, protecting their budget from currency volatility throughout the entire conveyancing period.
Director-Level FX Specialist
Your referred clients speak directly with our FX Director — an experienced specialist who understands international property timelines and the importance of timing on large transfers.
Regulated and Safeguarded
All client funds safeguarded through Currencycloud (FCA FRN 900199) throughout every property transfer, at every stage from deposit to final completion balance.

Common Questions
FAQs for Estate Agents
How do estate agents earn commission from a currency broker?
You join the Cambridge Currencies partner programme and refer international property buyers who need to transfer funds. Commission is calculated as a share of the FX dealing margin on each completed transfer and paid promptly after completion. No minimum volumes required.
Do I need any authorisation to refer property buyers to a currency broker?
No. Making a simple introduction to a currency broker does not constitute a regulated activity. All FX compliance, KYC and regulatory requirements are managed entirely by Cambridge Currencies.
What is a forward contract and why does it matter for property buyers?
A forward contract allows an overseas property buyer to lock in an exchange rate today for a payment they will make in the future — typically between going under offer and completing. This protects their budget from adverse currency movements throughout the conveyancing period.
When in the property process should I refer a buyer to a currency broker?
As early as possible — ideally at the viewing stage when a buyer is first assessing affordability. The sooner they speak to a currency specialist, the more options they have for rate protection. We can add value at any stage though, including just before a deposit is due.
