Built to Bring Clarity and Confidence to Property Currency Transfers
A message from our founder, David — 14 years in private foreign exchange and still focused on what truly matters.
I’ve spent more than a decade working in foreign exchange, helping clients transfer significant funds for property purchases, investments, and relocations around the world. I’ve seen first-hand how confusing and stressful it can feel to move large sums across borders — especially when timing, rates, and trust all matter.
Too often, the industry’s focus is on chasing the “best rate,” while the fundamentals — security, guidance, and clear communication — are overlooked. That’s why I created Lucid Financial Markets: to make every high-value property transfer seamless, transparent, and handled with genuine care.
At Lucid, we take the time to explain what’s happening and why. Our goal is to protect your value through insight, technology, and personal service — not just in your rate, but in every decision you make.
Because when you’re transferring life-changing amounts to buy a home or investment abroad, clarity isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Property FX FAQs
Everything You Need to Know About Transferring Funds for Property Purchases Abroad
What is Property FX?
Property FX refers to foreign exchange services designed specifically for individuals buying or selling property abroad. Rather than relying on banks with slow processing and high markups, Lucid provides fast, secure, and transparent currency transfers for property transactions.
Whether you’re purchasing a villa in Spain, an apartment in Portugal, or a second home in France, Lucid ensures your funds arrive safely and on time — with personalised guidance from start to finish.
Why should I use Lucid instead of my bank?
Banks often apply wide exchange rate margins and additional transfer fees, which can cost thousands on large property payments.
Lucid offers market-based foreign exchange rates with no hidden costs, giving you full visibility and competitive pricing.
Beyond savings, you’ll receive 1:1 support from a dedicated FX specialist who helps with timing, paperwork, and completion deadlines — something most banks simply don’t offer.
How much can I save using Lucid for a property purchase abroad?
Savings depend on the size and timing of your transfer, but clients typically save 1–3% compared to high-street banks — equivalent to £10,000–£30,000 on a £1 million transfer.
Our specialists monitor market conditions and help you secure the best available rate at the right time, ensuring that you keep more of your property’s value and avoid unnecessary exchange losses.
Can I lock in an exchange rate before my property completion?
Yes — Lucid offers forward contracts that allow you to fix an exchange rate for up to 12 months. This protects you from market volatility, ensuring your property budget doesn’t fluctuate as rates change.
Many clients use this service to secure a fixed purchase cost in their home currency, giving them certainty when exchanging large sums ahead of completion.
Are my funds safe when using Lucid?
Absolutely. All client funds are held in safeguarded accounts through FCA-regulated payment institutions, completely separate from operational funds.
This structure ensures your money is fully protected throughout the transfer process. Lucid only partners with regulated financial entities that meet strict compliance and anti-money-laundering standards, giving you total peace of mind when moving high-value sums abroad.
How long does a property transfer take?
For major currencies such as EUR, USD, and GBP, transfers usually complete same-day or next-day once funds are received.
For other currencies or regions, settlement times may vary slightly, but we’ll always confirm an exact timeline. Lucid coordinates directly with your solicitor or agent to ensure payments arrive precisely when needed — no last-minute surprises at completion.
What documents do I need to set up a Property FX account?
To comply with FCA regulations, we’ll require standard identification (passport or driver’s licence) and basic proof of address, along with limited details about your transfer purpose (e.g., property purchase agreement).
Setup is quick and secure — most clients are verified within 24 hours and can begin transferring funds immediately afterward.
Can Lucid help me with stage payments or developer instalments?
Yes. If your property purchase involves staged payments or construction instalments, Lucid can schedule transfers or use forward contracts to lock in rates for each stage.
This gives you budget certainty over months or even a year, ensuring your project stays on track despite currency fluctuations.
Which currencies can I transfer for property purchases?
We handle over 40 major and emerging currencies, including EUR, USD, CHF, AED, and AUD. Whether you’re buying in Europe, North America, or the UAE, our platform ensures your property transfer is secure, compliant, and fast — with tailored guidance for local banking and legal requirements.
