OUR APPROACH TO CONSULTING

People from different parts of the world move to Central Portugal because of its beautiful nature, affordable property prices, climate and Mediterranean lifestyle…just to name a few reasons. These are all qualities we value as well.  As consultants, we aim to help prospective buyers to understand what a property might require beyond the purchase, in terms of upgrades, maintenance, bureaucracy, safety, long term habitation and the developments in the surrounding area.  We will take a close look at the potential, and the challenges, that someone who is new to a region, cannot foresee.  With a property assessment, we provide an honest, no-nonsense written analysis of any property with pros and cons based on our own experience and views, as well as addressing what questions or issues the buyer may have.
