Algarve a cheaper Portuguese option for those wanting property abroad

Those considering investing in property abroad may want to consider the Algarve if searching for a more affordable option in Portugal.

Writing for the Daily Telegraph, Saundra Satterlee remarks that "Portugal's Algarve region boasts over 125 miles of sandy beaches, isolated coves, dramatic cliffs and one of the most unpolluted and healthy climates of continental Europe".

Meanwhile, keen golfers may also find a lot to enjoy about the location because of the vast number of courses on offer, while the chance to relax can extend further to an abundance of bars and fish restaurants.

Ms Satterlee was also quick to point out that the Algarve is already home to a number of UK individuals advancing their number of property investments, whether it be first-time buyers or those looking for somewhere to relax now that they have retired.

Alternatively, those with a little more cash readily available may want to search around the central coastline as "the further inland from the coast, the more reasonably priced the property," the writer notes is a general rule of thumb.

Manuel Puig, managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle Portugal, suggested earlier this year that the country's property market was well on the way to recovering from a disastrous 2009.
