With climbing
Portuguese property prices a condition survey is crucial to obtain the
necessary details with which to make informed decisions prior to purchase. It can
help avoid unpleasant, and possibly expensive surprises further down the line
and is an economical way of protecting the future value of your property
investment.
Put simply,
project management is the overseeing of the construction of new or renovated
property. This can be exceptionally difficult to manage remotely from the UK.
To ensure that a new or renovated property is built to required standards and
expectations, it is important to have an independent, qualified property
professional to manage such works. As a Project Manager, Richard can provide
this essential service. This is ideal for UK based owners having property built
or developed in Portugal.
All properties
need regular maintenance in order to maintain their value. A qualified surveyor
can identify potential problems before they become serious issues, determine an
appropriate schedule of maintenance and ensure that necessary work is performed
to appropriate standards. A service designed primarily for UK based owners.
No ownership of
property in Portugal is complete without encountering bureaucratic matters! In
conjunction with Dr Cecília dos Santos Walton, an experienced and qualified
linguist, administrative matters can be readily addressed.
