Frequently Asked Questions

01What about after-sales support?

We are happy to provide you with free advice for at least one year after moving into your house.
On request, we can also arrange a private domestic worker or cleaning assistant.

02What do I have to do before I buy my house. I am afraid of the language problems and the bureaucracy.

Don’t worry, we will guide you through the process step by step, together with the architect. We will also assist you in applying for a tax number (NIF), registration with the local authorities, accompany you to the lawyer, notary, and land registry. You can build and trust in our network.

03What extra costs can be expected each month?

The general costs are divided proportionally according to the ownership share.
Depending on the size of the property, the costs are on average 150 Euros per month and include the maintenance, care, and cleaning of the shared facility by a permanent employee. The general electricity costs of the facility, such as the community house and park will be included. The maintenance of your private garden and the cleaning and maintenance of your private swimming pool is also the responsibility of the permanent employee and is included in these costs as well.

04What about the acceptance of same-sex couples in Portugal?

Although the Catholic religion is the most widespread, Portugal is one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world and homosexual couples can also feel comfortable and welcome in Bem Viver.
