Your guide to planning a successful Portugal viewing trip

Thinking about travelling to Portugal to view properties? Getting the most from your trip means planning with purpose, not just hopping on a flight and hoping things fall into place.

This free guide gives you a step-by-step approach to planning a viewing trip that works for your goals, your budget and your timeline.

What youโ€™ll find inside

Buying property abroad can feel different to buying at home, and a viewing trip brings extra layers to consider. In this guide youโ€™ll discover how to:

  • Prepare before you travel so you see the right homes and avoid wasting time
  • Set sensible expectations around price, paperwork and timings
  • Choose the best areas and property types for your needs
  • How to talk and work with agents, lawyers and other local professionals with confidence
  • Spot issues you might overlook when viewing on your own
  • Use checklists to stay organised on the ground

Whether you are just starting to explore Portugal or already have a shortlist of homes you want to see in person, this guide will help you plan smarter, focus your viewings and make better decisions.

With the right buying advice in Portugal, youโ€™ll be ready to find and purchase your dream property safely โ€” whether on the Algarve, the Silver Coast, Lisbon, Porto, Madeira, or the Azores.
