Portugal is in a big crisis, but my country don't need this publicity, we have years and years of history, we discover the all world, we have culture, beautiful places and a very large tradition. Who are you for talking about my country, Anthony? I've said bad and stupid things about your country? No, of course. You should wake up for life and go working, portuguese people are good people, we're not a liars. If Angelina wants go to Portugal, she's gonna be very good received here. Her kids gonna have a excelent education and they gonna growing up healthly and naturaly. But, Angelina and Brad never take her kids to here, they need stay in USA for making work, they can't be a good actress/actor in Portugal. I'm really sorry, my english is a little bit confuse.

Portugal does need some good publicity, it seems all you get to hear in other countries is bad stuff about us! And I gotta admitt, life in here does suck and people are poor, there's a big crises since God knows when, but we also need things that make us think "well, maybe it's not that bad!"... As for the house rent thing, I dont know, I dont have a house of my own and I'm too young to realize that (as I'm a student leaving with my parents). Plus, I'm a common portuguese girl, I don't know how the rich rent houses here, but it shouldn't be a problem, since they have money and houses aren't cheap! As for Angelina and other celebrities that want to leave in Portugal: why always Algarve? There are so many beautiful places here, and where they can get almost none publicity at all. That sucks, really.I hope you guys like a portuguese's opinion :)By the way, yesterday was Portugal's Day! Hey!

That is fine. Reality is different from what you write. Example, when renting property in Portugal you have to be very careful. If the tenants stop paying the rent it will take years for you to get them evicted because the courts are very slow (therefore you have no property rights). You cannot dispute that. Portugal has one of worst records in Western Europe in terms of its judicial system. I was not taken advantage by any private party. I have been treated unfairly by the local councils. It seems that in Portugal acquired rights are irrelevant and can be revoked (again lack of enforcement of property rights). Other expats like me have had the same experience with their businesses being given a very short time to comply with rules, and being closed shortly after. Having a property right is not about having a piece of paper that says you own a plot of land/apartment/house. It is about that piece of paper meaning something. As I wrote I am sorry that my comments are bad for estate agents there, but people need to be warned about the dangers of investing in Portugal.

However, I would advice everyone who wants to buy house in portugal that they should get a good solicitor to check out the deeds first. If you get into a private deal, well theres always a chance of getting ripped. Hey, unless you was ripped into buying time sharing and thinking it was freehold, that situation is hard to happen.

Property trasaction system in Portugal it's very safe. It could take some time (usually less than 6 months), but the property is yours. You just have to make sure old owner don't have any bank loan.By the way i'm portuguese, and live in Portugal. Have some friends from UK living here for years and no problems till now.Just to give you an idea, algarve (where this house is located), just 50% of property's are portuguese owners, the others are foreigners (most of them people from UK, Germany, and Sweden) Hi Anthony, i have to agree with Dirk.

Since the courts in Portugal take years and years to issue a ruling on pretty much anything, I am in a limbo. I know other expats like me who have seen their businesses shut down in a matter of days for silly reasons. In short, my advice to everyone is to stay away from buying property in Portugal to avoid regret, as your property is not really yours. I am sorry that that advice makes real estate agents there less busy!

If some similar happened to you or any you might know, well that it is because you have been ripped of. Portugal has a very secure property transaction system. You pay and simultaneously you are a freehold owner. If the property is protect by any protection rights than the council has the possibility to acquire the property in the exact same conditions as you have. No way of wasting a couple of million of dollars. Dear Anthony – I am sorry if I need to correct you.
