It’s no surprise that buying property in Portugal has become popular, as the small European country is one of the most affordable. Portugal also has a good standard of living, year round sunshine, a relaxed lifestyle and some of Europe’s best beaches. Purchasing property there is also a lot easier than in many other countries, with not as many restrictions or complications that can often be a challenge elsewhere. There aren’t any restrictions on foreigners owning property, and building your own home is a realistic and affordable option. When it comes to actually buying your home, you’ll need the services of a notary, and the expertise of a solicitor is also recommended. One of the biggest challenges may be deciding where to live in this largely unspoiled country; not surprisingly, the Algarve with its beaches and golf courses is one of the most desirable areas.
