Hi Julie,

We have an excellent lawer who helped enormously with the purchase of our bar and our flat. He was recommended by friends who have been here 20 years, and I really cannot fault him.

Send me a private message if you are interested, and i will pass on his phone number.

We just bought in algarve, Not too fussed about the lawyer we got shes very slow. But estate agents were gr8, we tried several but the one we bought from had loads of properties and took us all over to look. If you want their details pm me.
Good Luck anyways, its a gr8 place to buy, if you want any help just shout
