Moving to Portugal
A new life in Portugal, perfectly planned and expertly executed.
Moving to Portugal is an exciting adventure, but the journey can often be complicated by bureaucracy, logistical hurdles, and the challenge of starting afresh. Standard relocation services provide a checklist; we offer a seamless, end-to-end partnership that takes the burden off your shoulders.
At Plus Portugal Property Consultancy, we recognise that a successful move is measured not just by receiving the keys, but by the confidence and calmness with which you begin your new chapter. Our comprehensive service is based on extensive local knowledge and a meticulous, client-focused approach. We serve as your single point of contact, managing every aspect of your transition, from initial property searches and school placements to navigating Portuguese administrative procedures and community integration.
We go beyond merely completing tasks to offer true peace of mind, making sure your family’s move is not only smooth but also aligned with the lifestyle you desire.
Our approach covers all essential stages of your journey:
Life-Focused Property Sourcing: We identify homes that suit your lifestyle, not just your budget.
Effortless Administrative Setup: We coordinate all registrations (NIF, NSS) and utilities setup.
Family-Centred Settlement Support: From school enrolment to local area orientation, we help your family settle in from day one.
Continued Advocacy and Support: We remain your trusted partner for any post-move questions, providing a vital safety net.
Let us turn the overwhelming into the manageable, transforming your dream of life in Portugal into a beautifully orchestrated reality.

Our Services
Property sourcing and shortlisting
We liaise directly with agents, tap into off-market opportunities, and personally visit dozens of properties to create a curated shortlist. You don't just get links; you get a selection of homes we've already vetted for your specific lifestyle and needs.
School search and liaison
We take the stress out of finding the right school for your child. We research options that align with your educational values, coordinate and accompany you on visits, and serve as your liaison with admissions offices to streamline the entire process.
Direct coordination with estate agents
Can't be here? We are your eyes and feet. We conduct live, interactive viewings via video call or accompany you on tours, providing real-time, honest commentary. We highlight the details you might miss and ask the critical questions for you.
Bespoke area, lifestyle and property report
We provide a written assessment of every property from an unbiased, buyer-focused perspective. Our evaluations pinpoint potential concerns, from structural details to neighbourhood considerations, giving you the clarity needed to make a confident decision. Additionally, our comprehensive area reports analyse commute times, local amenities, and community atmosphere to ensure your new home aligns perfectly with your desired lifestyle.
NIFF, NSS and utilities setup
We handle the tedious bureaucracy so you don't have to. From obtaining your tax number (NIF) and social security number (NSS) to setting up electricity, water, and internet, we manage the registrations and can even attend technician appointments on your behalf.
Property document assessment
While we are not lawyers, we act as your first line of review. We help organise all property documents, translate key sections, and prepare everything for your legal firm. We are also present during key milestones, like the contract exchange, to ensure everything proceeds smoothly.
Move-in coordination
Your seamless landing is our priority. We ensure your new home is ready for your arrival, including the collection of keys and the provision of basic supplies. We will be there to greet you, help you get oriented, and be present during any installations to bridge any language gaps.
On-going support
Our relationship doesn't end at the door. We schedule check-ins to address lingering questions, make minor adjustments, and ensure you are truly settling in, providing a critical safety net during your first few months.
