Good English-speaking lawyer

Hi Keith,

I can highly recommend Veronica Pisco

She and her team have made my planned permanent move to the Algarve (in 2023) almost painless and helped (or completed for me) most of the things needed.

This help include the following :-

- Property purchase - I sent a list of requirements and they organised 3 separate days, full of visits via multiple selling agents.

- Full purchase process - given power of attorney to complete the process for me [ COVID Travel restrictions ] ( I just signed a few documents and paid the bills).

- Pre-BREXIT residency application (still ongoing due to backlog)

- Temporary residency process via local Town Hall - valid to 2025

- Opening bank account - all paperwork ready, I just arrived at the bank with my passport and sign the documents (all done in 10 minutes).

- Power contract - just signed completed forms

- House insurance - just signed completed forms

- Will - I gave my requirements in English and they prepared a will in Portuguese and the meeting to register it at the Notary's Office.

- Annual tax return - they submit it on my behalf for the property I own (I am still income tax resident in NL)

As you can see from the above list, they go the extra mile with everything I have asked of them and pointed me in the right direction on the few things they could not help with.

Veronica has 3 offices across the Algarve and are always as flexible as possible  to get things done well and correctly.

I am back in NL at the moment, but will be visiting my house again 4-16 April to organise the next phase of restoration.  I am always willing to meet up for a coffee, chat or lunch, if you are still in the area then.

Kind regards

Ian

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your detailed reply - extremely helpful.

I will contact their office and arrange an initial meeting over Skype/WhatsApp before meeting in person.

Definitely hope to meet up early April.

Best regards,

Keith.

Wow! A highly positive resume!   Were her fees high please?

Hi Jazz,

I do not know if the fees are below or above the average.

You will need to contact them with details of what services you actually need to find their price for those services.  Then you can compare like for like with others.

For me, they were (and continue to be) well worth it, very good value for my money.  

[ if you only want the cheapest things in life, they will likely fail or not be as good as you wanted - and need to be upgraded or replaced  ;-) ]
