The part of a cross-border purchase people plan last
Everyone plans the property and the transfer gets planned last, and for a purchase abroad the transfer is a real line in the budget.
Two things I tell friends: fix the rate when the price is agreed rather than on completion day, and check your bank's daily transfer limit against the size of your first payment, because a limit smaller than the payment adds a week to the schedule.
I watch listings on https://global-property.investments/ across several countries, and the price you see in one currency can move by a few percent before you sign, which lands differently in Dubai than in Lisbon.
Not glamorous, and it is the part that quietly decides whether the budget holds.
