    Hello and welcome -

    Buying property abroad can be quite intimidating, even if you have lived in Portugal as an expat for years! Some questions you may have…

    Can a foreigner buy property in Portugal? If so, is it complicated? What is the process for purchasing property? Is there anything a foreign buyer should be especially aware of?

    Have you been through the process? What advice can you give to other expats in Portugal looking to buy - either a home or an investment property? Do you have a check-list or tips you can provide?

    Thanks for sharing!

    Hello, I am Nellyca and I will retire next year. I hope to sell my house for a good price and if I make enough money, I would like to buy an apartment in Portugal - preferably Cascais or Lisboa - or otherwise rent an apartment to spend my final years in Portugal. I will look for a 3-bedroom apartment. I have already started Portuguese classes so I will be able to speak a little Portuguese and I expect that, once I really live there, I will become more fluent in it. Does anybody have an advice for me how to go about renting an apartment for a long time?

    Hello @Nellyca
    I have moved your message to an existing topic about buying accommodation in Portugal.
    You can have a look at our guide for expats in Portugal where we have several articles about renting or buying in Portugal.
    You can also browse the blogs of expats living in Portugal on our blog platform BlogExpat.com, and they might share their experience :)
    Keep us informed of your finding and see you soon on the forum.
