What is inside

  • Three questions before you search: use, total budget, resilience.
  • The regions and their character: Algarve, Lisbon, Porto and the north, Douro, the interior.
  • The purchase process in eight steps: from offer through the preliminary contract (CPCV) to the deed.

  • Due diligence: the eight documents that must be checked before any deposit.
  • Renovating in Portugal: ruin, mill, quinta, with experience values for the costs.
  • Ten pitfalls I see again and again.
  • Checklist before you sign, made for printing.
