Buy Property Portugal asked:


This is www.buypropertyportugal.com ‘s next chapter of how to buy a property in Portugal, here we focus on the Algarve as it’s currently one of the most attractive places to invest and to enjoy investment growth while enjoying the sunshine on the beach

 

The Property Market

 

Why not choose to base yourself in an area with over 3000 hours of sunshine each year and give yourself the quality of life you deserve?

 

 

Portugal is an attractive location for house buyers, with the Algarve being the most popular area for British buyers, mainly due to the weather, golden beaches, and the abundance of golf courses. It is Portugal’s busiest, most developed region and it is reported that 90 percent of all property sales to foreign buyers are in the Algarve.

 

The age of Internet and ADSL means that mobility of labour is very much a reality and it is easily possible to maintain instant contact with colleagues anywhere in the world. Satellite TV means access to English language television and VOIP systems give you a U.K. telephone number and U.K. calls at low rates.

 

There are excellent air connections to anywhere in Europe and intercontinentally from Faro or Lisbon airports, making it perfectly possible to base yourself in Portugal and ‘commute’ back to the U.K. Many of the ‘budget’ airlines fly into Faro from Stanstead, Luton, Bristol, Gatwick, Heathrow, East Midlands, Dublin or Manchester and offer excellent value charter fares. Additional routes come on stream during the summer months.



 

Where to Buy

 

The Portuguese property market is showing consistent growth, strong rental demand, relative living costs and safe environment.

 

 

There is a wide choice of great properties in wonderful locations and often less expensive than the equivalent in France or Spain.

 

Remember that the summer months in the Algarve, especially August, are very busy in terms of traffic and there are visitors from the north of Portugal and from Spain as well as holidaymakers from all over Europe, all expecting good access to the beach. Unless you enjoy being part of the crowd you may appreciate being a little removed from the bustle. Being just a few kilometers inland can have considerable benefit.

 

Don’t forget to take into account your proposed usage of the property, if you are expecting to live in Portugal permanently then the factors that affect your decision on what to purchase will vary from those required if you are planning to rent the property out for part of the year.

 

Many properties inland or ‘up in the hills’ do not have mains water or drainage. Instead they rely on a system of cisternas (tanks) to collect rainwater and store water brought in by or pumped from a ‘furo’ (a bore-hole), whilst a ‘fossa’ or sceptic tank contains and treats sewage waste.

 

All of these facilities are reliable and capable of many years of unattended operation. Bear in mind if you plan to re-plant the garden, water can be at a premium in the summer months and a new garden may require a bore-hole to be drilled to obtain the necessary extra water needed for irrigation.

 

Drilling companies charge per metre for drilling and then the cost of the pump, control equipment and electrical installation must be added.

Portugal remains an exclusive location, with fewer of the ‘over development’ problems of some of its neighbours. The opportunity to buy quality property in a great location remains excellent but, like all good things in life, availability can’t last. Portugal is slowly but surely being ‘discovered’ and if you’re going to do it, now could be the perfect time to step in to this beautiful country!

 

Portugal is an utterly charming country and relatively speaking still overlooked by second-homebuyers.

 

Many areas have an exclusive feel and second-homebuyers and investors are waking up to the advantages of buying in a country which has not suffered the mass development of other parts of Europe, which is quick and easy to get to, and where the cost of living is still relatively cheap.

 

The Portuguese market is very active, with purchasers from across Europe.  There are plenty of Dutch, French, Spanish and Scandinavians buying, as well as the British. This means that to buy your dream property, quick and decisive action is often required. New developments are selling particularly quickly at the moment and many properties are sold from plans.

When booking your trip to Paris, you can find reasonable Paris apartment rent that won’t break your budget and still allow you all the comforts of home.

A trip to Paris can be fun and exciting, but expensive hotels can put a dent in your wallet. This is why many visitors choose to rent apartments for short-term stays in the city. Before you rule out the idea of renting an apartment, they are probably nothing like what you have in mind. In fact, some of them are quite elegant and display luxury living that you could never find in even the best hotels.

It’s hard to believe that in the heart of Paris you can find a fully furnished apartment including amenities such DVD/CD player, phone, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and many different books and guides. Optional features include everything you can imagine from maid service and guided tours to personal shoppers and French lessons.

The quaint but modern studio Bôheme apartment located at rue Durantin 18th District Paris is only steps away from the Metro station Abesses and the Sacré Coeur Basilica – an upbeat environment created by the local artists who have made Montmartre their home. The accommodations are great for a single person or couple who will probably spend most of their time out and about seeing the sights of Paris.

If you’re planning a family vacation or just bringing a couple of friends along, the 2-bedroom “Village” apartment will be more than adequate for everyone. You will enjoy the feeling of peace and relaxation in this cozy but spacious apartment fully equipped with a gourmet kitchen and modern bathroom with a full tub.

This apartment is located in the center of Montmartre, amongst the restaurants and art galleries. The Sacré Cœur Basilica, the Dali Museum and the Montmartre Museum are just 3 minutes walking distance away and many of the other Paris sights are accessible by the Metro.
