Hi everyone,

@ Cramptons, please have a look at the recommended professionals in the Real estate in Lisbon section of the business directory.

All the best,

Hi Cramptons,
My advice is to first look at the residence status options before looking at any Real Estate agent. I am living in Algarve where there are many British citizens who are very much puzzled about the Brexit and its consequences. I would also highly recommend to contract a lawyer (advogado (a)) to accomplish the numerous formalities (Residency status, purchase of a house/appartment, car registration if any, etc.). Portuguese bureaucracy is such that w/o a lawyer, you'll have a terrible time to overcome the problems. I got everything resolved in 2 months with a great lawyer in Loulé. Of course, being French helped a little bit. As a side note, I also lived in Brazil in the late seventies and then 21 years in the US. International experience obviously helps a great deal.
Good luck
Best!

Hi JP

Thanks for the post. Your point about legal advice is a good one and we will follow up. One thing we learned in Brazil was the value of local knowledge in navigating the paperwork. Brexit is a mess causing confusion in so many ways. Sadly the politicians like playing games with each other so I don't expect clarity for some time yet.
