Fancy a property in Portugal? I know its being done at lots of places on the web. There's plenty of information available, but does not seem to be so readily to hand. I know because I'd been looking to purchase and friends of mine have done
so already. With the current recession affecting the Algarve every bit as much as in the U.K. property prices favour the investor at the moment. So if you are fortunate enough to still be considering the purchase of an overseas property, now may be the time.
I've tried to provide a central source of links to useful sites, which is not hampered by some sort of 'sales pitch' and is prepared to recommend other (competing) resources.
Please let me know of any other areas that I should be including in this section.
If you would like me to add your own (free) link or want your existing one edited or removed please let me know.
