Mallorca Property Update – Interest & Exchange Rates

currency exchange in mallorca

The global financial backdrop for Spain and currency exchange in Mallorca real estate markets. Spanish and Mallorca markets were mostly stable throughout the month, however, the anticipated longer-term trends in exchange rates and interest rates have appeared to be set despite ever-changing uncertainty across the world.

The interest rates for both US as well as the UK

seem to be close to their lowest levels (not least since they’re close to zero! ) and it’s likely to remain at the current level for a lengthy period, with a rise not anticipated until 2011. The main focus for the UK as well as the US and also the UK will be on. Measures to ease the flow of money to increase liquidity by allowing credit markets.

In the Euro Zone In contrast to the other regions

the interest rates are still excessive in the Euro Zone at 1.25 per cent. Although the ECB is believed to announce measures to ease the cost of loans to the private sector truth is that these measures are more difficult to apply in the context of a “multi-state” Europe and where no procedures are in place to protect the Central Bank against losses resulting from the acquisition in assets. This could be an indication of the fact that the ECB will continue to reduce interest rates. Despite reservations as opposed to the central banks of other countries. The RBS can predict one quarter-point drop. But it is possible that in Novi Property we feel the structural weaknesses of the Euro Zone. Coupled with the more restrictive attitude of the ECB regarding. Quantitative easing strategies could mean that a second quarter-point cut could be needed.

In the field of exchange rates,

as and the relationship with that of the Euro as well as the Euro. The trend is towards that of the Sterling increasing. Stability and a shift toward a longer-term decline in the Euro continues. The weakness in the UK economy, as well as the underlying risk of a downturn, are all incorporated into the Sterling exchange rate, but this doesn’t appear to be the case in Europe where there is a belief that the Euro will remain in decline against the dollar before it begins to decrease when compared to sterling. Sterling (the Euro lost 2 per cent in March against Sterling at the end of March).

We’ve been able to say that for a few months,

the buying situation for potential customers for Mallorca homes is typically positive. The primary question for Sterling buyers is how to structure the purchase to take advantage of the expected power of Sterling and the decline in the Euro. While buyers may be thinking about delaying finalizations and multi-currency mortgage finance. UK national vendors of Mallorca and Spanish properties are confronted with an issue. Their own of how to sell their property as quickly as they are able in a very weak market should. They want to return the money they earned from selling in the UK and gain from the Sterling’s current decline against Euro.

If the buyer is in sterling,

while the vendor is a UK citizen seeking to repatriate money the negotiations must include the exchange rate and currency aspect if a fair and equitable arrangement can be found suitable for both parties and aid in the negotiation of a contract. As an illustration: currency exchange in Mallorca 

A property that is worth 500 000 EUR might “cost” the Exchange rate for Sterling. Buyers pay 454,000 pounds today at the rate of conversion of 1.10 Euros for each Per Pound. Should the transaction be delayed by 9-12 months, the “cost” might have decreased to 400000 as the exchange rate increased to 1.25 Euros/Pounds, which is the forecast rate for 54,000 pounds/12 per cent less. But, currency exchange in Mallorca 

the opposite happens for the potential UK national owner of the home. Instead of 454,000 pounds, the seller would only get 400,000 if the sale is delayed. This implies that the parties are willing to negotiate a deal and a compromise is reached, then an agreement should be made in which the buyer will make payment immediately, but slightly less and the seller is willing to accept a lower price in exchange for a quicker agreement.
