Thank you both for the best real life moving to Portugal video I have seen so fare hope you are more stable know love you both onisty best policy in long run.❤

Hi have u finished youtube?

First of all great video, super informative, and all true. But, people who dare live on the grey side of the law might find that nobody in their city municipality really cares about the actual law. You might not make your dwelling legal but I never heard of someone being forced out of his home or a home built illegally being torn down. My land was visited for inspection by the city municipality after I already built every possible illegal structure on it (outdoor kitchen, shower, pool, tents) and renovated my ruin without permission (after 2 years of bureaucracy I said F it). The only thing that really interested them was where my wastewater water went, fearing it would go to the river. They were super nice and explained what I should change with the water system and went away. They also told me that the balcony I built for the ruin was illegal. That was 2 years ago, and no one contacted me since. Would I recommend this risk for someone today - probably not, but if you are someone who cares less about signed documents, it's a calculated risk that might just work out.

Were can I find the website or book of Steve Robinson?

All this doomsaying ignores the fact that some 200 neighborhoods around Lisbon are clandestine in origin and a lot of houses are still not fully legalized, which doesn't mean it's somehow hard to fill out some papers and start paying very mild taxes, say the equivalent of a month's rent per year. My house was built illegally in 1983 and so did all the other houses where 55,000 people live here in the south bank.

Great video very informative thanks for the heads up .

That was a great video. Very informative. I’m Portuguese and I had no idea how complicated could be and all the risks involved. Thanks ever so much and all the best .

I don't comment on videos often, but this video is genuinely brilliant. So informative, love these guys! So helpful!!

Hi ihave watched all your videos an I haven't seen anything from you in 2024 , are you OK and is mum well .I hope Alex is OK. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👍

It's the young annoying trust fund kids who think they can do anything...but if goes wrong....mummy bails them out !!!

the only thing you don't need a permit for is to let buildings go abandonedwhich the country has many of

Life is not the same..when Alex, Molly ,Sandra and the goats are not part of my week.😪💗

I am afraid Portugal is there own worst enemy. They have a massive housing problem and yet all they need is to change the way they work and they seem unable to do that

Great video, thank you

Nice video, and good work on all the reaserch. But i have one observation. You say you can't do all these things. And the truth is you can, illigally you can. And as of now tens of thousands of people are breakibg all these laws, and every day more people do. And the truth is the portuguese authorities dont have the manpower to persecute all of this. So if yoy are doing this illigally, its important to build a good relationship withthe locals. Beacouse in the end the projects that will be persecuted will be the ones that get a "denuncia" The governmet at sone time will have to change laws beacouse of the mass civil disobedience going on

Just a minor nitpick: the translation of Quinta da Fonte da Pipa as Source of the Barrel Farm is too literal. It most likely mean Barrel Fountain Farm.

Ola’ guys is everything ok been missing you guys I hope all is well 👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️

Yes, unfortunately a lot of estate "experts" on RUclips are promoting ruins and barns with pre-1951 "exemption". Just today, another funny farmer property-video was released, stating the rustic article is legal to renovate and live in... No problems... Me asking about the Carderneta Predial wasn't appreciated, just got blocked from his channel 😂

So... not as easy as jumping in a camper and going over to start the new life! Thanks for your honesty and the effort you've put into doing this video!!

Thank you!❤

Early 2024 The laws have changed and make it easier to buy old buildings, I don't know whether this a good or bad thing. You still of course need a habitation license so as this video points out double check and do the leg work.

Very informative video. Many thanks. 🙏 I am planning to move to Portugal from UK with my family. I am currently looking for farm land. What would be the best place to move in Portugal?

I would love that. I'll start saving.

Absolutely the best information video on RUclips. Thank you very much for taking the time to bring this to the people with dreams of a Portugal life. You guys are super stars 👍❤️✌️ P.S. if only I'd made the move 10 years ago, when I first had thoughts of moving to Portugal. Now the prices are crazy! I Would have been ahead of the curve like you guys, and now I feel like I've missed the boat.😢

It took a while for RUclips to present this video to me but it’s absolutely the right thing to watch! To me it’s not boring at all as I really don’t fancy losing money on properties that may turn out not possible to use as presented. Very informative so thank you very very much for putting this together!

❤❤❤

It would be nice with an update to hear If it is ok with you all. It´ s worrysome that no vlogs are coming out. Take care❤

But the 9 month you live in a pre 1951 "house" do still have to serve an agricultural purpose or doesen't it? As a foreigner who would spend only six month there anyway this agrcultural clause would be bad.

Great info guys much appreciated its obvious you been through the mill and got in at the right time enjoy the Dream x

Thank you so much. I visited Silves and Lisbon earlier this year and fell in love with the country. But I do know the bureaucracy can be terrible. Paperwork for miles.

Hoping you guys are fine

<Scratching chin> oh me gowd. You two are serious ,is that how you spell it or is it siriarse. <Scratching side burns> any how feeling anal. Thank you both very much for a very interesting message, and that is integrity. This video is good value. <nodding head> Thank you from New Zealand.

Hi Alex,sandra and molly, popped in here to see if your all ok, no vlogs? Hope you're all doung ok there, love from Uk here take care x

hope you are all ok. nice to see alex with jasper. take care xxx

This explains why I’m seeing so many of these properties for sale now. They are illegal even though they have been renovated and are gorgeous homes, they are previous barn conversions . Makes sense of the recent price I saw on the most gorgeous remodel off grid property I’ve ever seen.

not boring at all, thank you. I would be more than happy to creatively get by/off grid without bathroom and toilet if it meant being able to spend a significant amount of time there and keeping my uk address as my main address. would It be a d7 visa I would need for this. I'm flying out at the weekend to start viewing. thanks for taking the time. coffee on the way.

Very sound advice and a good informative, important video. I have lived here for some 40 years and have a small place in the country, but close to major cities and two apartments in city areas. All purchased, at quite a high cost , after getting my lawyer in Lisbon to check over all the legalities - I found the laywer through the British Embassy site in Lisbon. From the list that the embassy published I sent out initially some 20+ faxes ( yes even nowadays I find fax can work alot better than emails ) and got only two replies of Português laywers interested on taking on the complexities of the property market legalities. One law expats should be aware of is the keeping your land clean if in a fire risk area. If not cleaned and kept clean then fines of some thousands of euros are aplicable.

Citizens of EU countries have the right to live in any EU country without restrictions. So no 9 month limitation for us. But of course it is clear that major renovations or changing the use of a building require the relevant permits.

thank you for the education, love & respect from the uk

Worried about you. How are you all doing?

Thankyou

THANK U!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can you use donkys and goats

Just popped in to read the comments and make sure youre all okay, glad to see its just a weather thing, pesky rain stops play , look forward to seeing you guys back on when it eases off take care 🐐🐐🐐

This is the best and only video people need to watch before buying anything in Portugal. Thanks a million ! You moved in at just the right moment, when prices were less than half of what they are today. Could you perhaps explain how healthcare works in your area? If there's one thing stopping me from moving to Portugal it's a lack of proper healthcare. Most doctors, nurses and dentists have moved abroad, and there are hardly any hospitals either. What's your experience?

Just and FYI I learned many years ago running self priming pumps at fires. I was priming the pump following the MFG instructions, by pouring water in that little 1/2" hole on top. A local plumber who was also on the FD, in formed me of the error of my ways and pointed out that the discharge for the pump went to the exact same spot at the priming port and that 1 1/2" hole was much easier to pour water in then the 1/2" hole on top. A short time later we also replaced that priming plug with a silcock (1/2" x GHT thread). Thow on an old washing machine hose and you had ready to use by-pass / bleeder, as well as a way to fill Indian Tanks or even run a garden hose nozzle to protect the pump.

Very informative, what I'd like to know is what happens when the camera finds out you've been living on a rustic plot without any habitational license. Say you're permanent resident and you've got a caravan or something set up on a rustic plot without pre 1951 building/ruin. What happens when they find out? I haven't been able to find out what the consequences are anywhere. Do you get a fine? Do they evict you? I'm very curious to know

Hi guys! 😊 Just checking in. Hope all is well with you! We know you’re super busy, a dairy farm is quite a daily challenge, 24/7. Take care. 🌷Sam and Pedro

Fountain of Barrel is the right translation, thank you for coming to Portugal!❤

The first and for most thing to say is after BREXIT before buying you must know that there are other requirements too, especially on income requirements.
