In June 2006, the Browns from Derry wanted to purchase a pre-plan 2 bedroom apartment in a new development in Spain. The purchase price was €285,000.00 and the transaction consisted of a deposit and staged payments up to 70% with the balance payable upon completion. The Browns took out a Sterling mortgage then came to Complete Currency and secured a rate of €1.4570 for the initial deposit of 20% in June (bank rate was €1.4263, saving was £842.05) and at the same time secured forward contract rates for the 15% due in September ’06 at €1.4530 (bank rate was €1.4215, saving £651.98) and 15% due in December at €1.4502 (bank rate was €1.4200, saving £626.94). The penultimate payment of 20% was due in March 2007 but after discussion with Complete Currency the Browns decided to hold to see how rates would develop with the objective of securing a better rate closer to March 2007. Complete Currency contacted the browns in December 2006 and indicated that the rate available at the time was €1.4969 which was duly secured for the 20% March payment (the spot rate for march was €1.4701 and bank rate was €1.4411, saving £1,474.42).
