What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Portugal?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Portugal is like. They answered...
"We decided to wait before jumping in and buying and watched the buying behaviours, issues other expats had, studied the market, visited houses extensively. At present we have decided not too buy due to the exchange rate issues," remarked another expat who made the move to Tomar, Portugal.
"We rent a condo. Yes, most of our expat friends have done the same, although, as it turns out, our landlords are also expats who own several condos and a single family house that they live in," explained one expat living in Porto, Portugal.
