Weaker Euro is great for Pound sellers

This week the Euro has weakened 2% against the pound. This means a €250,000 property is now £4,500 cheaper.

What has caused this movement?

Putin has started cutting off gas supplies to Europe. Economic powerhouses such as Germany will undoubtedly see the knock-on effect on manufacturing, consumer spending, and economic growth still to be seen.

We are currently trading at the best levels since April 2022. Anything over 1.18 is seen as a good level considering where we have previously been trading this year.

What’s happening next week?

The Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates to tackle rising inflation. If they go against expectations, this could weaken the pound. Anyone who needs to buy euros could spread their risk,

buying some Euros now and waiting to see the impact of the rate hike and further reduction in gas supplies.
