In the year of NASA’s first Space Shuttle mission and with Ronald Reagan as the new US President, some early property pioneers from the UK were opening one of the first full-service Estate Agencies in Albufeira and the central Algarve.
Allan Edwards, as his father before him, had developed experience of the Portuguese Property market through their investment in Cerro Grande, an upmarket neighbourhood in west Albufeira, amongst other prestigious projects in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon.
Allan and his new team soon realised that (often) foreign buyers of these new properties needed trusted service and assurance whist they were away: and who better to do this than the people that originally designed and built their houses and apartments!

Europe's capitals make for exciting holidays and interesting property investments, but when it comes to yields it's worth looking beyond the big smoke and considering the countryside.
Chris White, Founding Director of boutique Algarve estate agency Ideal Homes International, explains,
"Areas like Portugal's Algarve show the value of looking beyond urban boundaries when it comes to investing. While city breaks are popular and apartments there can be great for personal use as well as for short and long-term rentals, country and coastal properties also have excellent potential."

The UK's decision to leave the European Union raises some important questions. Here's how it will affect British buyers in Spain.
Martin Dell, Director of Kyero.com, comments..."We are optimistic here at Kyero. The Brits buy in Spain for the wonderful climate and bohemian lifestyle. That hasn't changed and houses in Spain will always have a pull for the British purchaser. There was a very healthy market for Spanish property before Spain joined the Eurozone and there'll still be a thriving market once Britain leaves. Property prices in Spain remain relatively low, and this is still an excellent time to make a shrewd investment in the Spanish property market."
With the highest amount of sunshine in Europe, it is easy to see why the Algarve remains such a popular place to relocate or buy a second home.
