    Hi Julie, Thanks for the informative video. :) It was very helpful. You confirmed what I've been hearing...about the presence of mold since apartments there are not insulated. Unfortunately, I cannot live with that under any circumstances from a health perspective. Did you live in any newer places outside of Lisbon that were insulated and not damp? I know there has to be a new build community somewhere but I have not been able to find any info online yet.

    I found that negotiating the price is hard especially when the apartment is popular. They will ask how much we can offer despite the given price and if someone offer more price than the listing, you will keep on dreaming on about that apartment.

    I have heard a lot of talk about the mold issue in Portuguese apartments and homes. The homes are built to keep the places cool in summer, but in winter, mold is a serious issue. As an asthmatic who is very allergic to mold...this is a big issue for me. Need to rethink my plan...

    I just have one question. You mentioned to have a lawyer go over a contract before signing. Can you recommend a lawyer that I can use? I am not in Portugal and I having a hard time getting a lawyer that can look over my lease contract and possibly help with getting a NIF

    Olá! I'm moving next week to Lisboa and been hunting on Idealista for like 2-3 months now, I have to find a one-year contract. I hope to find something convenient for my needs. I lived in London and boy I had those bad neighbors experiences so I totally can relate on your earlier termination of lease.. Thank you for your tips!

    SO much good information packed into a short video. I actually LOL when you said, “I’m already over this video, and I haven’t even started recording yet.” Hahaha 😂 Hilarious. I have heard a few people say negotiate price~putting that in my back pocket. Until next video. 🤗
