Very interesting, once again, Christine. Especially the fact that the farm is first offered to the neighbouring owners before selling to the prospective buyer. Applaudible. The sellers were also very cooperative - having all the necessary signed documents ready almost immediately. ...could have been quite a protracted affair, come to think of it. For a moment there I thought you were going to stay the extra night or two at no charge, being a 'regular' client😊 Can't wait for the follow-on episode! All the best and happy planning
Hello Chris! Im glad that you are happy to find your dream land to live. Now, you need continue dreaming to all became real step by step in this new journey in your life. Stay strong...you have a hard work to do and i believe that you will be a winner at the end. Have a good day.🙌😊👌
How exciting for you. Buying a property in Portugal seems a long process. The next 2 months will be hard, it will probably drag. I guess you can spend your time checking out trades people, costing out materials etc for the work you wish to do on your property. I will be excited to see what you do.
Ha, I can't believe you said the fateful words "...things may move smoothly..." 😄 So happy for you, and I am sure we all hope things do go smoothly - wishing you all the luck in the world !
Hi Christine Thank You for the update,, almost as excited as you 😄 Would love your insides, to how you have booked the properties viewings, maybe your secret list of real estate company,, what you looked for, when determining if a house was worth your time. And moving forward,, how to make sure that the property is okay,, no debt, that it has the land you was told it had,, and sooo. I am also really curious about how the banking part works,, moving large amounts and so,, scary stuff :-/
Hi Morten! Thank you! :) I think I may have just made a very large spreadsheet with houses I liked. I specifically looked at a couple of different things, and each property may have been different. Sometimes I chose something for the terrain, sometimes the views, sometimes the entrance (I do love a good walled entrance!) so it would be different each time. Then of course price. I don't think there is a magic bullet formula, just viewing loads of different places until you figure out what you like and don't like. I worked with a lawyer who checks all the property data to make sure it is debt free and correct. I do however feel that woking with a reputable real estate agency should get you half-way there too. Moving large amounts of money is very scary! I'll keep you posted - and perhaps do a video on that :)
Hi. Just started following your journey. This is very helpful info, as we’re looking to buy in the future. Something I see a lot that concerns me is property boundaries being mis-sold. Thank you
Hi Billy, yes! I've seen that happen to a few people sadly. I really do think that working with a reputable agent helps so much! I personally found dealing directly with owners had way too much hidden agendas and loops, so preferred working with an agency even though they might be a little more pricey. Good luck with your search! And of course, before you decide on an offer - just check all the details with the notary you're using as they can quickly pick up on anything that might be awry. (as well as debts on the property - which if you buy without knowing, you become the custodian of!) :)
Thanks for informing such matter elaborately, Could you tell me if someone buys farmlands for doing agricultural, is it be posable to gain some profit at the end of the sessions?
Hey Chris, thanks for that "INFO"... My question is: what is the difference between "DEPOSIT PURCHASING" as against "OUTRIGHT PURCHASE"??? Keen to hear your answer!!! Be blessed...
Okay, muted joy. I am following your progress. The dream is becoming a reality. But UK system is the similar. U can be gazumped until u exchange contracts.
After signing the promissory document - contrato promessa de compra e venda - if until the scripture they decide not to sell they must return the deposit in double .......on other hand if you decided no to buy anymore you lose the deposit.....
I just found your channel. Best of luck. In Thailand now, but will be looking for a Quinta next year. I’m curious, what percentage under asking price we’re your offers?
Detecting a South African there:-) very keen to own my piece if property in Europe, torn between Italy and Portugal. Italian farms are cheaper but taxes nigh. Portugal farms a bit pricey but taxes high, Country is rated safe. Wish I was brave enough to buy a remote property being a single female. I am looking for a bargain renovation project in s village with close neighbors or semi detached and basic amenities close by
HI, Yes, South African :p There are loads of properties available in villages too, as you describe. Depending on your appetite for renovation, prices are quite low - but then needs a LOT of work; or medium to high for little to no reno. The closer you are to a village, the higher prices are as well, however, smaller villages have a lot of value and are so quaint IMO. Visit and come find your gem! :)
@@GirlMeetsFarm awesome I plan to do just that SA has become ridiculously expensive hey and I wouldn't dare to live in a village/ farm even if it was free for security reasons:-( I recently started following your journey. Please share some cheap Village options an hour to maximum 3hours from a City 🙏
@@africatoday-q9f Portugal is quite small compared to SA. I drive 3 hours from Lisbon to the Central part of the country. Even in small villages you're likely to be 40min - maybe an hour away from a city. ;) So many options for you! It depends if you want to be close to ocean, mountains, Spain, or very south of Portugal. Start by making a wishlist of preferences (mountain, ocean, hilly, temperate climate, etc) and then start looking at areas. Check on idealista.pt to get a good idea of prices too. It will give you a nice broad overview of what is available where and has some good info on areas too. Good luck! :)
@@GirlMeetsFarm ocean is first price, both is a bonus. Thanks for the information, I am subscribed to Idealista but I get overwhelmed with not knowing which are the nicer villages. I currently live in Poland working remotely. Plan to visit to Portugal in July
Hello chris I’m also planning to start a dairy firm in Portugal. But I don’t know about the starting process. So could you help me about documentation and give me a agency name who works with that. Thanks in advance
Hello, Thank you for the comment! Unfortunately I'm not sure about the process of a dairy farm. there are many real estate agencies who could assist with great properties though. Speak to BM Imobiliaria Castelo Branco, and also Remax as a good start.
Hi, Definitely - but it all depends what you want to do with the land. I, personally was looking for 1ha to keep things manageable, but then again I'm not keeping large livestock. 2ha could offer that space if you wanted to keep sheep, pigs, goats, horses or maybe even cows as well. Happy hunting!
Hi Pat, I didn't back out, but as Maria mentions the seller wanted additional cash outside of the written agreement which I was not comfortable with. So we never got the promissory stage, else I would've lost my deposit.
Hi Chris, Thanks for the comment! only my agent was with me. The lawyer does not need to be physically present. They use the property land number (erf code) to assess the details of past ownership, what is registered and what is owed (if anything). :)
@@GirlMeetsFarm was with you the sales broker of the ( buyers broker your agent)? i asking because next week i am on the silver coast to searching for land myself. Good luck to you .
@@ChrisTenalach77777 I worked directly with the agents and didn't use a buyer's broker, so it was just me and the agent :) But I've heard that a lot of people choose to use buyer's agents here also. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding. :)
Congratulations.👏👏👏
Thank you for the information.✍✍✍
Good luck and best wishes.👍👍👍
Thanks for the updating. Im much excited as you are, looking forward to see your renovation Project.
Thank you! :)
Congratulations 💃💃💃. HAPPY things are working out for you and your farm is something you love.

Hi Daniel, thank you for the comment - yes this is true.
I just found your channel. Best of luck. In Thailand now, but will be looking for a Quinta next year. I’m curious, what percentage under asking price we’re your offers?
How many acres are there? And what was the price of the farm? I also want to buy, i'm working on it...
Wanted to listen but the dogs are too noisy. Try filming without them next time.
Yes getting on the nerves
I didn't notice
That’s the reason I stopped watching.
Hi - not my dogs barking. It was the neighbouring farms - who I don't have control over.
How much a chicken farm coat and a cattle farm cost in Portugal?? Is there any documentation required to do livestock farming?

The Village where you buy your House is Penamacor?
Hi, Yes, I've bought in Penamacor :)
On first round, one offer have been accepted...did you back out? Why ? Any consequences on your end? Thank you to sharing your experience.
In one chapter she told that the owner realized he had to pay taxes. So the owner pulled out the sell
