Planning for an overseas property purchase can be trickier than buying at home. Volatile and unpredictable exchange rates are just one of the hazards facing you.
With three kilometers of beautiful sandy beaches which are awarded annually with the environmental quality symbol “the blue flag”, Quarteira privileges of its geographical position facing the sea with the unique climate, mild temperatures all year round.
The Municipality of Loulé is located in the center of the Algarve, covering an extensive area from the Alentejo to the sea integrating nine parishes.
When I viewed a property on the Idealista website, I contacted the listing agent, Felicia Santos with CCHomes. This was our lucky day. My husband and I had been viewing properties on the internet from our home in Colorado Springs.
Most journeys to purchase a Portuguese property are more of an endeavour then a sprint. Before being introduced to CCHomes, we had used the services of an agent whose approaches included requests for money upfront (even before the promissory) to secure a property and communications designed to pressurise us, it was not a pleasant experience.
Vanessa and Felicia for all the help and advice you have given us, which is much appreciated. You have acted in a highly professional and competent way whilst being really nice people to spend time with.
