New Ideal Homes Portugal and Hamptons partnership pushes Portugal up the list for UK second home buyers.
A second home in the sunshine, or even a new life overseas in Portugal's sunny Algarve has just been made even easier, thanks to a new corporate partnership from leading boutique estate agency Ideal Homes Portugal.
Surrounded by a mature garden, this outstanding and well maintained 5 bedroom villa with high quality finishings is located tucked away in the hills nearby São Brás de Alportel.
The intelligent lay-out of the villa allowed 3 bedroom suites, a grand living room, a formal dining room, kitchen, snug area and study on one level only and give a very homely feel to it. On the lower floor there are 2 guest suites, a spacious SPA with 2 saunas, a wine cellar, laundry and access to the double garage.
Older villas in prime locations provide interesting investment opportunities for the careful buyer.
Anyone searching for a villa in the Algarve is faced with a lot of options, you can see from our website that it is literally bursting with properties for all tastes and budgets.
Mums do it all these days. Since 1996 the number of working mothers has leapt by almost 800,000, to a total of 5.3 million according to a study by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The figures show that the number of women in the workplace with dependent children has leapt by almost a fifth in just one generation.
The change is partly thanks to government initiatives to encourage single mothers to work, but even the number of non-single mothers who work has jumped by 10% since 1996. ONS data shows that just 10% of women now stay at home after having children.
As spring aproaches, we are getting ready to welcome you into our new office in Vilamoura and some additional properties in the golden triangle. Below are some current properties and latest opportunities worth visiting!
