We're the same, have just sold our house but won't be going for a few months yet and are hoping that the rates are going to improve. If it doesn't we're just going to end up renting in NZ for longer, hoping that by keeping our money in savings in the UK will meet our rent in NZ. It just doesn't make sense to lose money by exchanging at a dodgy rate, hopefully when the exchange rate is in our favour the property market in NZ will have sorted itself out as well.
