Guide
Buying prime in a foreign currency
How currency exposure shapes a cross-border purchase, and how to manage it.
Understand your true exposure
Price, deposit, fees and ongoing costs may all sit in a different currency from your wealth.
Decide your hedging policy
Forward contracts can fix the rate between offer and completion.
Mind the staged payments
Off-plan schedules spread currency risk across months or years.
Account for repatriation
Selling later converts back — factor the round-trip.

Common questions
Should I hedge?
If a swing would change whether you'd do the deal, yes — speak to a specialist.
