In the summer of 2018 a large part of Monchique and Silves county were devastated by massive forest fires. The Silves rotary club and Exclusive Algarve Villas have held various fund raising events to raise money to help the local fire department. Many fire departments depend on donations to purchase goods, substitute equipment and toward the replacement of (very old) fire trucks.

Overseas property and finance specialist Simon Conn has been concerned that key messages about buying abroad aren’t getting across, and people are still making mistakes which could cost them dearly. These include the need to use an independent lawyer, valuer and/or surveyor and ensuring any documentation is accurately translated into a language they understand.

So he’s decided to create this short animation around the top three tips for purchasing property abroad. It has a serious message but is presented in a lighter format.

The Algarve is often voted one of the best places to live and invest, and Portugal always appears high on the list of best destinations for family holidays, cultural getaways and for golfing breaks.
