Portuguese Property Exhibitions
Most exhibitions in the UK tend to focus on Spain, although some do have stands representing Portuguese companies and agents. They are predominantly of new properties, and tend to be held in large hotels and conference centres in larger cities around the UK. Ads for them run in the main press, and the organisers have their own websites for information. Here are a few to start you off:
www.outboundpublishing.com
www.internationalpropertyshow.com
www.homesoverseas.co.uk
www.homebuyer.co.uk
www.worldclasshomes.co.uk
View exhibitions as another means of information gathering; an opportunity to get brochures, contact details and have a chat to reps about the buying process, and the types of properties their companies have on their books. Ask questions, but don't feel pressurised into signing up to anything at this stage. Although, undoubtedly, reps will be wanting to capture people's interest and trying to sign them onto inspection flights to view houses, it is not to your benefit to commit yourself amidst all the heat and bustle invariably associated with exhibitions.
