Plots of land in the Algarve

by Sun’s Dragon   

The best way to ensure that you get exactly what you want from a house is to build your own. It’s not nearly as daunting as it sounds, in fact the Portuguese Government has made the process easier; with strict building laws you know exactly where you stand.

If you’re not familiar with the Algarve then I suggest you read all about the different counties, where they are and what they have to offer; they vary considerably. If you’re considering living in a town, then read up on towns in the Algarve so you know what you are letting yourself in for. All this and more can be found in our information section.

Architect Plans Algarve Portugal

To simplify things, it all boils down to the five P’sPlot, Plans, Permission, Progress and finally Paradise.

Ruin Restore Algarve Portugal

We can certainly help you with discovering the counties and towns and we have found a few Plots to give you ideas. The next two P’s are covered in our Resources section and also in our blog Build your own dream. My advice is to find an architect who is well versed in Portuguese regulations and a builder who comes highly recommended and find out where you can see their previous work; that’ll take care of the fourth P. Watching the progress of your building is one of the most exciting things you will ever do; trust me.

As you can see, we moved from east to west, from hills to coast and from “down to earth” to “out of this world” with the plots we have selected. The scope seems endless and the prices are very realistic nowadays. A few tips to help you along:

Building Construction Algarve portugal

  • You cannot build on a plot of land unless it has a ruin that was once a habitation.
  • You must build close to where the ruin once stood. You will need special, written permission to change this.
  • Make sure that all part owners of the land have signed the permission to sell at the agreed price.

If there’s nothing in our list that tickles your fancy, just check out the property map on our site; you’ll find hundreds of plots to choose from.

Just think, you could be well on your way to the last PARADISE!
