Rent before you buy in Portugal
28 October 2008
The Vigia Group in Portugal are offering prospective buyers the opportunity to rent the property for three months before they decide to buy. The properties are located in their popular Parque da Floresta Golf and Leisure Resort on the Western Algarve.
The company are hoping that the possibility of checking out a home before committing to buying will prove an attractive option in these uncertain economic times.
“Buying a holiday home abroad is a big step and one that you need make sure you are 100% certain before taking the plunge,” says Ewa Petersson, Vigia Sales Director.
“We came up with this three-month rental package so that people would be able to ‘try before they buy’. Sometimes people don’t know for certain how big a home they need, so this also ensures that they are buying the right amount of space.”
Three-month’s rental of a two-bedroom village house in the latest phase, Quinta da Encosta Velha is available for EUR 2,633 (GBP 2,080), inclusive of running costs and maid service.
Once buyers have identified the right property for them, outright and fractional freehold ownership is available at Parque da Floresta.
