I need to make a substantial one-off EUR transfer, from EU to UK, keep the EUR and exchange to GBP when I find the right property.

It would be better to leave the EUR where it is until you need the GBP, then transfer and exchange it.

May be, may be not. There's an elephant in the room, called Brexit. There might no longer be any free movement of capital after Brexit day.
