Currency change when moving abroad
When you're moving to another country, another thing you need to consider is how you'll convert your money into the local currency of your new country. Many people use their own banks when it is usually far more cost effective to use a specialist foreign exchange broker.
You could move for free!
Bradshaw Moving Services have worked with IFX for years, helping customers save considerable amounts of money when transferring the proceeds of property overseas, compared to what the net proceeds would have been if using a high street bank. The currency exchange service also deal with much smaller amounts than the proceeds of a property sale, so even if you only have a small amount to transfer we would suggest that you contact them as you may be surprised how much they can save you.
We have known clients that have saved more than the cost of their move.

When you speak with our overseas removals experts to estimate your move, be sure to ask about currency exchange services. They will make sure you have the information you need. Of course, there is no obligation to use our partner's service - but the more you know, the more you can save.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us about your move?
It took the sting out of the anxiety involved ... especially after the calls you made on my behalf from Leicester to Stafford which resulted In getting a cancelled booking, allowing me to move before the big stamp duty deadline which the rest of my chain were trying to beat. As the truck pulled into the drive of my daughter's house, the phone rang to confirm the exchange of contracts on the house ... tight timing!

Our team were Kemp, Josh and Marcus for a full pack service and all 3 of them were fantastic. They were really polite and respectful towards us, checking in regularly and making sure they knew exactly what they needed to do. They treated our possessions with utmost care, and our items were packed quickly and efficiently. They made sure that everything was labelled properly and were very careful when moving items, especially big / fragile things. They all worked extremely hard and overall we were thoroughly impressed.
