Hello and welcome to Portugal. Just a little correction. The map of Portugal Districts is wrong in the separation between Lisboa and Setúbal Districts! The Tejo river separates them. It's southern bank is Península de Setúbal, with the city of Setúbal in the northern bank of the river Sado (Setúbal District), the northern bank of the river Tejo is Lisboa! Check Google Earth ;) you will understand!

England second hand cars are cheaper, but what about insurance? How much would it cost you fully comp policy? In Portugal dont forget that insurance lets you drive in most of european countries while UK you have to pay extra, also every car policy in Portugal comes with free recovery. What about UK? You have to get AA or any other recovery service, right? How much would that be on the top?Check these channels, OK Portugal, The Indie projects, stay classy vlog, Expats Portugal,

I just loved your video. I was watching the expressions on your faces and it was like reading your minds. We are much older and did a similar thing. My wife is Portuguese born and raised and immigrated to Canada in the 80's. I am old-stock Canadian from Nova Scotia having relocated to Ontario in the 80's. We met in Ontario after our horrible divorces practically wiped us out. We desperately wanted out of the rat-race for a long time, so we sold our house and our possessions arriving in Portugal with 4 suitcases, a dog and a cat. We have been at it for going on three years now and just love it here. I am still having trouble with learning to speaking the language, despite understanding most of it. We are also in Centro region. We live close to the Mira area. Believe me the hard work will pay off. Most of the food we consume, we produce, and that cant be beat eh? When the "pandemic" arrived, we hardly even noticed. Its nice to be self-sufficient.

Wellcome neighbours, I live in an old house in the Lousã municipality. My advise: look for advise from others who renovated old houses arround here. There are a lot of them. The climate, and the way the house can cope with it, are the bad surprises foreigners usually face in thiis area. The humidity will impregnate the walls 7 to 8 months a year. You need to invest in good insulation and a good heating system. The more you spare in this, the more you'll spend in the future and the more you'll suffer from unconfortable winters. You may need deshumidifiers for the mold. The good news is: wood is cheap, from the excess of eucalyptus and acacias. This wood is not the best, but the heat from the burning is ok. You will need some 12 cubic meters a year, depending on the volume of the house . ~400€ a year, if you want confort. Keep in mind that the electrical companys cap the power in old houses (16 A. generally) unless they look like new... I'm portuguese. We don't like to sound over optimistc, unless when trying to sell something. Good luck.

I think the pandemic has definitely changed the mindset of people and many will move to the countryside which is wonderful. I think in next year, Portugal may boom.

I am a Franco - Australian living in Australia. I know Portugal since 1970, in 2014 I bought a small house in Alentejo a town name Torrao. After a few pots of paints and a new bathroom renovated by a nice guy from the next street I have a lovely nest to go for the culture and ancient history of this beautiful country. I think you have done well, I hope you can do a lot by yourself as portugueses builders are sometimes not very constant with the client. If they have work somewhere else you can wait for them for days or weeks, I have a long experience for this matter. Portugueses ate very friendly just do not pay in advance for buildings matters and ask a quote signed by you and them so you can be advise by your lawyer if a problem occur. Good luck, adeus.

I am in the early stages of planning a similar leap into Portugal from England and I too have focused in on Coimbra as the likely candidate' although the prices further inland are very attractive.

@TheIndigoEscape

2 жыл бұрын

Inland is great too but it depends on access and what your priorities are. We really like going on day trips/weekend breaks and we found that Coimbra is nearer all the places we are very interested in visiting (Lisbon/Porto 2.5hrs, Aveiro 1.5hrs) We also find more inland to be very hot and dry. Coimbra is greener (it does rain a bit more) but it is still much sunnier than England. Also, there is so much water here compared to inland and the Algarve. May be worth visiting both places before buying! You do get some amazing properties inland (Castelo Branco, etc) that would probably cost you way more in Coimbra.

After see the 3 videos i do think if you want to do everything that you describe in the videos, prepare yourselves for more than 75.000€. Be careful and have some portuguese contact the builders, a Portuguese friend or family that speak very good Portuguese, they can rise the price because you are foreign, they think you have lot of money. They even can give you a small price, but going to push for extra costs along way the work. Portuguese people is very friendly, but when money matters, sorry not so friendly...

I watched a couple of goats eating brambles - it was incredible - how do they do it? - literally chewed them to pieces, thorns and all - the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Well done with the move! I have been thinking along the same lines and moving from Britain to somewhere like Portugal. Luckily I can do most of the work myself, just need good suppliers. Wishing you well and subbed to your channel.

Thanks Gaz! I highly recommend it. Portugal has many advantages and it’s a wonderful country. There are plenty of suppliers here. You got the big chains like B&Q or your local Woodyard, metalyard to get materials made for you or ordered in. Best thing would be to come here, so a bit of a road trip so you can have a feel of the place. It’s a small country but widely different from north to south. Best of luck and thanks for subbing!

Love these types of videos 😍 I'm half Portuguese and live here as well! My mom own an empty land, but I would love to do something on it 😍

Thank you for sharing!
