0:36 "Expats" maybe?

So, when in the process of buying a house you hire a lawyer? Before making an offer to a house? And how are lawyers paid, by the hour? We had an experience of hiring a lawyer when we needed their service during our rental lease contract. She was not really a big help and we kind of figure out everything ourselves. We just wasted our money paying her service and she isnt very responsive either.

Yes you should have a lawyer do though due diligence on your property so you don't get yourself into a money pit. There are some very good lawyers and in Portugal and not so good ones. We work with the very best and make sure that our clients are fully protected

Very interesting to know that Portugal has specific regulations and it looks like everyone needs to gain a lot of informations before buying anything (for example, the 1951 regulation). Also, in France, we have the ABF (Architecte des Bâtiments de France). If the house is in their juridiction area, the owner of the house will have many obligations to follow if he wants to renovate the house (particulary the outside). I suppose Portgal has similar areas and institutions, what do you know about that ?

This is so scary...

Crime is higher than you might think. I was staying in the eastern Algarve last year and I was attacked and robbed by the person who rented the apartment to me. I filed a police report. The police weren't interested. They may be involved in Algarve crime. I was chocked, thrown to the floor and had my head beaten. Only use well known firms not small local firms. Use the internationally known companies only.

That sounds horrific. I am very sorry to hear. I have personally been living in the Algarve and have never had a crime committed on me, nor have I really heard of any petty crimes happening. You were incredibly unlucky

There is a good chance that we may buy a house in Portugal same time soon,.

No, no, no. Why not do a little bit of research? Or just be stupid like most foreign investors. You WILL get ripped off in Portugal, sorry but you just will.
