What Makes Portugal the Place To Be?

• It's beautiful, green, sunny and friendly!
  
  
• The Portuguese policies regarding green issues and the environment are well established and advanced compared to other European countries
  
  
• Portugal has a long tradition of respect for the individual ownership of land and this is enshrined in the Civil Code and governed by the principles of Roman law and is therefore not subject to political changes or economic interference.
  
  
• Portugal has been part of the European Union since 1984, allowing free movement of money and people between member states and as part of the Euro zone its currency is very secure.
  
  
• The legal system is safe, fair and easy to understand. We encourage all clients to use an English speaking Portuguese lawyer to assist in their property purchase. Property in Portugal is conveyed by a public deed in front of a government notary.
  
  
• To ease passage through the process, all properties advertised by us have had their titles pre-checked for soundness and freedom of sale.
  
  
• The cost of living is very reasonable, existing incomes, savings and pensions buy a very good standard and quality of life.
  
  
• Taxation and other fiscal systems are very similar to the UK and are easy to understand. Allowances are given against any capital gains tax and this does not apply if capital is reinvested in property in Portugal .
  
  
• There is no inheritance tax and a will made in the UK can apply in Portugal with a simple legal arrangement.
  
  
• Pensions and other benefits earned in the UK can be transferred to Portugal without loss and they retain their index-linked increases.
  
  
• Medical and dental care is excellent and readily available , either free or at a modest cost, health insurance is not expensive.
  
  
• Portugal is technologically well advanced, all modern facilities and communications are in place and work well.
  
  
• English is now taught in schools as a second language and is widely spoken, though learning Portuguese is definitely encouraged.
  
  
• Portugal is a favourite holiday destination for the UK and other nationalities and all property purchased here has considerable rental income potential.
