Frequently Asked Questions
What experience does Castelo Branco Living have?
We started off in Castelo Branco ourselves by buying a property with a large renovation building on it 2 years ago.
We have walked the walk, and gained a wealth of experience in managing a development property from A to Z. As well as accumulating a network of reliable contacts that provide professional support from a legal, administrative, governmental and real estate purchasing and construction perspective.
What activities does Castelo Branco Living work on?
There are multiple aspects we offer: from scanning the area for your desired property (lots of off-market properties that never reach the internet), to dealing with notaries, lawyers, municipalities, realtors on the ground, project manage demolition, renovation, construction, landscaping of a property, to managing an existing property on behalf of you.
​
Our activities are fee-based; Depending on the complexity and duration of a project we can work on a day-week-month tariff besides the material cost.
​
We will never hold any of your money for any transaction, all will be placed in an escrow account for the duration of the project and payable at each mutually agreed upon deliverable phase.
