Maybe you’re boo to Brexit, maybe not; but you can't hate on the cheaper prices in UK, cheaper online shopping, cheaper travel and excellent money changing and transfer options
Whether you were on the side of Brexit or not, you can’t deny it – the terrain of the economy has begun to fluctuate due to the dip of the British pound. But just because it’s down doesn’t mean you have to frown, for we’ve found a silver lining teetering around this volatile predicament. A devaluation in the pound means more value for your local currency if you’ve got dealings with the UK (turns out the pound has depreciated against the Singapore dollar by over ten percent), and prices there are now significantly lower! And because we’re always ones to sniff out a good deal, we’re here to give you some quick-fire tips on how to make the best of this sporadic scenario. We aren’t complainin’ one bit!
Stock up your wardrobe from UK online shops
As if you weren’t already addicted to online shopping, here’s one more reason to get clicky – prices at UK online stores are now cheaper! It’s now a steal to shop at stores like ASOS, Mr Porter and Boohoo if you’re paying with a foreign currency, so it’s finally time to seal the deal with those 50 tabs you’ve left open.
Go on that London vacay you’ve always talked about
Always felt a chill down your spine whenever you thought about the budget you’d need to set aside for a UK vacay? Well the Brexit aftermath means you can alleviate those fears since prices have dropped – splurge away! Not to mention, if you’re moving funds back to your UK account with a company like World First to supplement your spending, you’ll get loads more cash than you would have done pre-Brexit! And since you’ll save some moolah with your trip to the UK (some articles have reported that flights to UK are now their lowest in three years) why not use that as a golden opportunity to explore the rest of Europe? Didn’t think of that, did you?
Buy your own property in the UK
This is perfect for those of you who love the UK but can’t call it home, literally, ’cos you don’t have a roof over your head there. The uncertainty stirred by Brexit has led to shrunken rates in the UK real estate market, especially from the perspective of foreign potential purchasers. Wanna get your own apartment in Liverpool or Manchester? It’s now one step easier! World First also lets you settle mortgages without a cinch; leave it to them, and they’ll do all the heavy lifting.
Plan your dream wedding in a castle
But say you don’t want a permanent abode, yet you’re hopelessly fascinated with medieval UK architecture all the same, you could always make use of this Brexit hoo-hah to visit that dream castle at an affordable price. Or in fact, make it extra memorable and plan your special day while you’re at it (your wedding doesn’t have to be that expensive anymore)! Tying the knot in these grand monuments in Sussex, Berkshire, Cornwall, or Cumbria, will give all your friends some serious wedding envy – you’ll be the bride to beat!
Show some love to your young’uns studying in the UK
For those of you with kids studying or working in the UK, we know how anxious you must feel every time they rant about their money woes. Give yourself some peace of mind, and transfer them some financial support via World First; they’re specialists in international transfers to almost anywhere in the world, have great exchange rates, and execute in a swift and secure manner.
