Dollar or Sterling?

Do you have a mortgage on your holiday or investment property in Florida?

If so, have you considered using the current exchange rate between the US Dollar & the British Pound to lock in the savings you have made since you purchased your home in Florida.

Consider this example:

If you purchased a property with a mortgage of $146,000 when the Dollar/Sterling exchange rate was at, say, 1.46, you would now have saved 23% on your mortgage balance if you convert to a Sterling based mortgage*. How?


Mortgage Amount ($)
@ 1.46
Sterling Equivalent
@ 1.46
Current Value (£)
@ 1.90*
146,000 100,000 76,842

Not only that, but your monthly repayments would have come down from £585.36 Sterling equivalent to £449.80**

There has never been a better time to convert your US Dollar mortgage into Sterling, so what should you do?

Well, there are two options.

1. Take a new mortgage on your Florida property in a Sterling denominated account

2. Re-mortgage your UK home to raise the funds to repay your Florida mortgage
