Charlesworth Property Services

specialist foreign currency exchange

In our latest story we feature Charlesworth Property Services, a relocation company situated in the Bay of Roses, Catalonia.

They offer a complete package service which includes everything from sourcing suitable property to arranging the viewings, right through to organising your mortgage and bank account and because they are a relocation company, they are not affiliated to or biased towards or against any one agent or developer. They work for you and you alone! Owner Siobhan Charlesworth explains; ‘If you are buying a property for your personal use we will be on hand to help you settle into the area but also if you are buying to let we will also ensure that your property realises its letting potential. We love the area and the passion that we hold for it is reflected by the enthusiasm that we have for helping people to move here.’

The Bay of Roses is located just over the French border in the Spanish foothills of the Pyrenees. The local scenery is stunning with mountains, villages and long Mediterranean beaches. The shore is scattered with the typically Spanish coastal resorts and fishing ports of Roses, Santa Margarita, Empuriabrava and L'Escala. The marina at Empuriabrava - although the biggest residential marina in Europe – is nevertheless a peaceful and interesting place to eat in and explore. Just a few kilometres away at the foot of the Pyrenees are the traditional villages of Palau Saverdera and Pau where there is a mix of old and new properties. Nestled within and around the villages are modern urbanisations such as Mas Fumats, Mas Busca and Can Issc.  

Charlesworth Property has recommended the services of Escape Currency plc since their inception. 'I used Royston Howell at Escape to send our money out here from the UK – the exchange rates that I received were 3% better than my bank so when the time came to include a Currency Company within our service, I had no hesitation in getting back in touch with Royston. The most important thing for us is knowing that our clients are receiving the best rates of exchange available and Escape provide that service.'
