With the pound recently hitting its lowest level ever against the euro, £20 now buys only €21.18 at UK exchange!
£1 to euro tourist rates falling to €1.05912 today (down dramatically from around €1.39 a year ago)!
Prices of holiday homes across the Continent have been plummeting as the tap of British buyers was abruptly
switched off last autumn.
“The pound has lost 30 per cent of its value against the euro in the past 12 months, which, combined with house price falls in the
UK, means a 50 per cent drop in the cost of buying a UK property compared with a year ago,” say James Wardle from Hamptons International.
“Britons are selling their places abroad to buy cheaply at home in the UK:”
“With the pound flat on its face and the euro up 30 per cent in value compared with a year ago, ‘Davina’, an interior designer, is slashing the price of her chateau in Tarn et Garonne, one hour from Toulouse, to
move back to the UK…..’Ideally, I want a place in the countryside and a small pied-a-terre in London,’ says Davina, who is considering houses in Oxfordshire for around £600,000. Maybe I would also be able to afford a one or two bedroom flat in Notting Hill again.“ (dailymail.co.uk)
