    Yes, it is almost always correct that you must go see a property for yourself. However, we were buying and moving to portugal during covid and we were on the clock. We could not visit and time was critical. So we had a lawyer and real estate agent and a building inspector visit the property to make sure we knew everything possible. They inspected the house, video recording every square meter for us. We had live video calls. They video recorded the neighborhood, the wider region. We bought the house remotely, and fortunately it all worked out.

    Jasper excellent job on explaining house hunting and what a win both ways on the concept of trading off. Can certainly be advantageous for someone to help you out and have you help them out with a place to stay, learn, meet new friends and check out Portugal. Wow Jasper you're not just a pretty face.

    Portuguese here... never get "a" lawyer in Portugal. Get at least one plus another that has knowledge of notary/registry of land, e.g. a "conservador" (keeper of registers). Preferably miles apart and not knowing about each other. Assure you have one of them properly translating all documentation back to you.

    Really good information. Excellent mini-course for anyone considering making a move.
    I might have anticipated mmost of those, but the partial ownership thing would have completely blindsided me, as would the idea of a house being on some one else's land.

    I loved Mistake Number 5, simply because we are thinking of buying a property in Portugal and have therefore rented a house for September and October in the Penemacor district. First of all to see if it's something for us to live in the area.
    The Ghost Town has already been added to the "to visit" list.

    Great video and thanks for looking into it as after my last comment about people buying their property and it turned out not to be theirs, well all i got was you need a Lawler. That's not the point estate agent's and lawyers should know what they are doing. Iv put this because it's the same in Greece so i now need to spend time and money to find out what's belongs to me.

    And we also love haggling, but this is because we have our methods to avoid big gov control. We call it Ayni in Quechua. This goes way beyond the idea of "exchange": it is really becoming part of the highest or greatest flow of energy within the organic weave and not resisting it as gringos programmed in matrix do. It is generative, circular and syntropic.

    Great information ….
    A good lawyer is worth their weight in gold … but remember they too have to wait on documents going back and forward from government offices , so it’s easy to say “great lawyer, but they are terribly slow”
    My “4 week “turnover from agreement to finalisation is still ongoing 9 months later ! … but that’s coz my lawyer is efficient and discovered missing land even the previous owner was not aware of … and didn’t know he owned … so waiting is a pain , but can be to your advantage …
    Love to you Renato and the girlies …
    I’m still on tenterhooks to know for sure if Akira is pregnant ?..

    I still can feel very frustrated about the Portuguese sometimes. They say yes but mean no. Like, if you don't want to do something, why not just say it? It takes ages if you ask a question before you get an answer, if at all. Very lovely people but I am used to Northern Europe where you put your money where your mouth is. We recently moved to the Alentejo from the Minho and my god, people here are lazy... In the North, I think most Portuguese are faster because lots of them have worked abroad.

      @@__Dude_ I was just merely expressing the frustrations I sometimes have. Other than that very happy. And with lazy I mean that they are very reactive. They don't act unless something bad has happened. An open well without any cover: two lambs falling in and after that making a cover. There's even a saying about that in Dutch. Well, about calves but still.... And owner of the sheep said "but I didn't have the time..." whilst he spends almost every day in the local café after work - and not just for 'one coffee'. All fine with me but don't say you don't have time to look after your animals. Neighbour on the other side: several lame heifers. Even had to have the vet out. Turns out he burned lots of stuff in their paddock and left everything; nails, glass, beer bottles etc. If he'd spent an hour cleaning up after the fire, it would have been less costly.
