DETERMINE PURCHASERS’ WANTS AND NEEDS
For any newcomers to Madeira who are willing to invest some time and receive a FREE, clear and honest impartial picture of today’s Madeira real estate market as well as the process of purchasing property in Madeira, call me at my private number: +351 291 099901 or email me here. 

Let me know in advance of your specific interests and requirements and I will tailor our meeting and Madeira real estate selection accordingly.  I will never try and sell property to a purchaser unless they themselves express interest in that regard.  In fact, I always recommend you NEVER make a  decision on buying property in Madeira on  your very first visit to the Island.

Madeira is a fine place to invest in property as only a small percentage of land on the island may be developed, whilst the remaining much larger percentage is untouchable and has to remain in its natural state – some of which is sheltered by UNESCO World Heritage legislation land protection rights.

The island is renowned as a great place to retire and live comfortably on foreign pension/retirement income.  One of the most appealing attractions of buying property in Madeira, is it’s year round mild sub-tropical climate, the political stability and one of the few places in the world that is not crime-riddled.

Let us know your exact requirements and budget so we may best serve your needs without wasting too much of your valuable time.  In return, you will be assured of our best and interested attention at all times.  We have good relationships and work closely with other real estate colleagues in the industry allowing us to share property listings.  Hence if you contact us as a purchaser, it will be like contacting several Real Estate Agency Companies at once.  Needless to say, our share-policy allows us to maintain the “personal attention” which is fundamental in the process of buying property in Madeira as a whole.

SEARCH FOR THE RIGHT REAL ESTATE / PROPERTY

We would nevertheless like you to be aware when looking from an outsider’s prospective, that the Madeira real estate property market on the island is still somewhat perplexing.  In it’s efforts to improve the history of a somewhat  “poor professional”  image of the Madeira Real Estate , the Portuguese Government has introduced new controlling regulations and principles which all licensed realtors/ estate agents have to abide by resulting in some positive changes within the Madeira real estate .    However, don’t be surprised as a foreigner, to still be offered to buy, Madeira real estate , via a local taxi driver, restaurant owner, hotel receptionist, large developers and/or property speculators, some of whom may  have also acquired a different type of licence to buy and sell their own property,but  will sell that of others ilegally – very often risking consumer protection in  the process.

Local owners and sellers alike often hand out their listings to anyone and everyone without updating these agents accordingly as to pricing changes and any developments in general.  Hence, for example,  you may find that the same real estate property is being advertised at different prices by different Companies – often with huge variation in prices.    If you’re serious about buying property in Madeira, my advice to you is to search and opt for Government licensed companies on the island – all of these Real Estate businesses have had professional training and thus are in possession of compulsory insurance policies which protect you as a consumer in the event of any misconduct - without having to resort to costly litigation procedures.  The compulsory insurance policy covers an average amount of 250000 Euros. 

Furthermore all real estate/properties marketed by these licensed companies may not be owned by them. Rather chose one of these real estate companies with whom you feel more comfortable with and ask them for their proof of  licence / legal identification which  they are obliged to produce  - which looks like my licenced Realtor – Real Estate Agent id card -  per image here below.  Aside from that you may also consult the Real Estate Agents Government Controlling Body IMOPPI by visiting their website at:  www.imoppi.pt  where you will find online legal and other important information on buying property in madeira, including an updated list of all the registered companies in the whole of mainland Portugal including the island of Madeira.
