Central Portugal is not one uniform market. A useful adviser should test the ordinary week—work, school, healthcare, shopping and transport—rather than simply provide a property shortlist.
WHAT TO PREPARE
Start with a clear brief, not a document dump.
01
The weekly journeys that matter
02
Housing budget and non-negotiables
03
Car access and public-transport expectations
04
Healthcare, school or work requirements

QUESTIONS TO ASK

02
How is local research documented?

Are property introductions commission-linked?
04
What support continues after arrival?
