People seeking property in Portugal or other locations to buy or rent should make sure that they thoroughly research their move before pressing ahead.
This is according to Shelter Offshore, which stated that one of the most important things to do is visit the location you want to move to and properly get to know the area.
The website advised people looking for property in Portugal to plan a trip to the destination out of the main holiday season because this will give you a better picture of what life will be like once you move.
It also suggested asking the opinions and advice of other expatriates who have already found their ideal property in Portugal to help prepare for the move.
