Date: 23/1/2009

Whether you're looking for an investment, a holiday home, a warmer climate to retire in or a new life in one of the world's most beautiful countries, you'll find just what you want in Portugal. There's a wealth of property available, and here are just some of the reasons why you should make the move... and look at portugal property for Sale

 

Lifestyle change

 
A change of location means an improvement in your quality of life. A sunnier climate, a slower pace, good food and wine, and Portugal's beaches, mountains and golf are all great reasons to consider a permanent move or a second home. The extensive expat communities in the Lisbon and Algarve areas provide a good safety net and security for many prospective buyers.

 

Long-term investment

 
For younger or middle-aged buyers, a property abroad can provide both immediate pleasure and a future income. For those thinking of retirement, Portugal offers a stable property investment scenario. Prices in the Algarve, for example, have not slipped in over a decade. With its sunshine, golf and beaches, all within two hours of Europe's major capitals, it will always be a solid prospect.

 

Buying to let

 
Many spend only a few weeks in their home, opting to rent it to holidaymakers to offset expenses and generate income. It's still a responsibility and you need to appoint a manager in your absence, but pick the right area and you can have year-round rental income.

 

Short-term investment

 
Short-term financial gain can be had from buying a property, investing in it and renovating it, and then selling it on. The Algarve offers few prospects in this area, but opportunities exist in newly fashionable areas such as the Alentejo and Madeira.
