Reviews

What buyers said once they had the keys.

★★★★★

"Rebecca is sharp, experienced, and extremely knowledgeable of the market. Essential, as there's no MLS search, Rightmove or Zoopla here"

Why Algarve House Hunter

Built for buyers, and only buyers.

There is no single search here, much of what sells never goes online, and every agent you can find is paid out of the price you pay. We take no seller instructions. We work every agency in the region, argue the price down, and stay with you through the notary and the months after it.

The consultation

Half an hour, and four things you keep.

It costs nothing because there is nothing to sell you yet. You keep all four whether or not you ever work with us.

Step 01

What your number actually buys

Where your budget buys well, where it buys a compromise you would regret, and what the same money looks like twenty minutes inland.

Step 02

Which towns fit the week you described

Towns twenty minutes apart differ on winter population, school access, airport runs, and whether anything is open in January. We ask what your ordinary week looks like, then say which towns hold up to it.

Step 03

Every stage from offer to notary

Fiscal number, reservation, the CPCV, the deposit, currency transfer, the deed. What each stage costs, how long it takes, and the three points where purchases here most often come apart.

Step 04

Whether to start now, or wait

Sometimes the answer is: wait six months. You get whichever one is true, including when it means we don't work together.
