It
is difficult to quantify how many Brits are currently
looking to buy a second home in Portugal. Blendon Communications,
publishers of Homes Overseas, are confident that there
will soon be a resurgence there following a recent change
to Portuguese property law.
Every home owner has to go through the process of searching
for property and buying it; most new and existing owners
will be renovating or redecorating at some point and
this will involve dealing with tradesmen and/or suppliers.
For this, these homebuyers will need to understand at
least the basics of Portuguese property law, house construction,
building, plumbing, electrical systems etc, and they
need to know not only the words but how the systems
work. Teach Yourself Buying a Home in Portugal
gives the explanations and vocabulary for each aspect
of finding, buying, renovating and living in a house
in Portugal.
In addition to approximately 90 labelled illustrations,
the book has a CD which gives the pronunciation and
practice of the necessary vocabulary.
The book is published in association Homes Overseas,
the UK's best-selling specialist international real
estate magazine and host to over 30 annual exhibitions
providing information on properties overseas.
