Angelina Jolie is reportedly seeking to buy a Portugal property.

The film star and partner of Brad Pitt is said to be looking for a beachfront home on the Algarve, giving her the chance to move away from Hollywood.

An unnamed source stated: "She loves Portugal and wants to raise her kids there. She’s looking in a quaint village called Lagos. She wants to move there ASAP."

If the move does go ahead, it could help raise the profile of the Algarve and Portugal property market, which in turn could boost the value of homes there.

With the actress and Brad Pitt currently raising six children, this may help focus attention on the family attractions of the area.

Comments by overseas mortgage firm Conti indicate that it is not just wealthy film stars who are looking to buy in Portugal.

Operations director for the company Clare Nessling noted recently that there has been a surge in interest by British buyers in Portugal and other eurozone countries due to the pound gaining in value and prices falling, making such investments more affordable.
