    No. Your currency issues aren’t their issues.

    You're unlikely to succeed as this is a consequential loss that they could not have reasonably foreseen. They were unaware of your plans and were not aware that you would incur a loss and that you would pass this on to them. It is unlikely that the contact would allow for such a loss. You having to source short-term accommodation due to them delaying completion would be an example of a potentially foreseen issue. Similarly, if you had a holiday booked for a week after the move but now had to cancel, they could not have reasonably foreseen this issue and are not obliged to reimburse you.
