Property prices are in euros. How do I convert euros to another currency, such as the US dollar or Bristish pound?
This website has a direct link for current conversion rates from the € to major currencies. You may also find currency rates daily in major newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Financial Times. For the US dollar, the euro is quoted in terms of how many dollars it costs to buy one euro. Thus a rate of 1.35 means it cost $1,350 to buy 1 €, or $1,350 to buy 1,000 €. Likewise for the British pound: If the pound rate is quoted at .6950 to the euro, this means it will cost .6950 pence to buy one euro, or £ 695 to buy 1,000 €. Bear in mind these are official rates that are available only to banks. Rates for consumers are slightly higher – e.g., where the banker’s rate is 1.35, the consumer will pay around $1,360. The rate may be considerably higher if you deal with a local bank that is unaccustomed to doing foreign currency transactions .
