    Why not do nothing for now and see how much money you make forex trading in January? If you find you have a knack for it that'll inform how best to fund the house purchase.
    A better idea, given the OP's ability to predict currency movements, would be to start forex trading now. If you have a perpetual motion machine that makes free money, why would you leave it under a tarpaulin in your garage until January?

    Why has no-one mentioned Fineco? A bank account (protected by the Italian equivalent of FSCS) that offers near-perfect exchange rates and free payments within the SEPA area.
    Awful bank account.

    I use it fairly regularly and am happy with it. In particular, it works well at doing what the OP wants to do. So I am puzzled by this comment.
