Moving to Portugal.
One important buyer decision at a time.
There is already plenty of broad information about moving to Portugal. The Buyer’s Briefing is for people whose plans are becoming more real.
Each month, we focus on one question that can materially shape a move or property purchase and examine it properly from the buyer’s side.
No property promotion. No generic “why Portugal” presentation. Just practical perspective to help you make better-informed decisions.

How to Choose Where to Live in Portugal, Beyond the Holiday Experience
Liking somewhere and living there are two very different things.
A place can feel perfect on holiday and still turn out to be wrong for the way you actually want to live. In this briefing, we’ll look at what is worth testing before a property starts driving the decision.
The holiday experience vs everyday life
What you learn from visiting somewhere, and what may still remain completely untested.
Region vs micro-location
Why knowing you like the Algarve, Lisbon, Porto or another part of Portugal is only the beginning.
The life before the property
How routine, community, mobility, services and personal priorities should influence where you buy.
The assumptions buyers bring with them
From climate and walkability to international communities, rural life and the type of environment you think you want.
How to test a location before committing
What is worth challenging before the property itself starts influencing the decision.

Already wrestling with a location decision of your own?
Submit it when you register. We’ll select a small number of real buyer situations to discuss anonymously during the live session, looking not only at the answer, but at the questions worth asking before making the decision.
Where something requires individual legal, tax, immigration, mortgage or technical advice, we’ll leave it with the appropriate professional.

Maya is the founder of The Buyer’s Agent Portugal and works exclusively from the buyer’s side of the property purchase.
Her work often begins before the search, helping international buyers test assumptions, clarify what they are trying to achieve and make sure the eventual property fits the wider plan.
Portugal is becoming a real plan.
Planning the move
Portugal is no longer simply an idea, but some of the bigger decisions are still taking shape.
Planning the purchase
You may be comparing areas, thinking about timing, deciding whether to rent first or wondering when to begin looking seriously.
Already living here
Portugal is no longer hypothetical, and buying may now be the next step.
The Buyer’s Briefing is designed for people whose move or purchase is becoming real, rather than those at the very beginning of exploring Portugal.
One question. Properly examined.
Buyer-side perspective
We look at the issue from the position of the person making the move and committing the capital.
Real buyer situations
Submit a question when you register. Selected situations will be discussed anonymously during the live session.
The right expertise, at the right time
Legal, tax, immigration, mortgage and technical questions remain with the appropriate specialists.
