Buying a Farm in Portugal | My Experience of OTP Process of Buying a Farm

Now that I made a decision between farms and my offer was accepted, I briefly take you through the Offer to Purchase process I’ve experienced thus far in our Penamacor, Castelo Branco farm purchase.

I also talk about the tally it took to get to this point. How many farms viewed and offers made to get to this stage!

About Girl Meets Farm:
Christine’s adventures as a solo expat looking for a dream farm in Central Portugal. Follow my journey with my two dogs (Shakti & Shiva) of finding our forever farm in Portugal.
I’ve never owned or lived on a farm, but moved to Portugal in the hope of fulfilling a life-long dream of finding open space, subsistence farming and a safer, better life.

  1. Very interesting, once again, Christine. Especially the fact that the farm is first offered to the neighbouring owners before selling to the prospective buyer.
    Applaudible.
    The sellers were also very cooperative – having all the necessary signed documents ready almost immediately. …could have been quite a protracted affair, come to think of it.
    For a moment there I thought you were going to stay the extra night or two at no charge, being a 'regular' client😊
    Can't wait for the follow-on episode! All the best and happy planning

  2. Hi.
    Just started following your journey. This is very helpful info, as we’re looking to buy in the future. Something I see a lot that concerns me is property boundaries being mis-sold.
    Thank you

  3. Hello Chris! Im glad that you are happy to find your dream land to live. Now, you need continue dreaming to all became real step by step in this new journey in your life. Stay strong…you have a hard work to do and i believe that you will be a winner at the end. Have a good day.🙌😊👌

  4. Hi Christine
    Thank You for the update,, almost as excited as you 😄
    Would love your insides, to how you have booked the properties viewings, maybe your secret list of real estate company,, what you looked for, when determining if a house was worth your time.
    And moving forward,, how to make sure that the property is okay,, no debt, that it has the land you was told it had,, and sooo.
    I am also really curious about how the banking part works,, moving large amounts and so,, scary stuff :-/

  5. How exciting for you. Buying a property in Portugal seems a long process. The next 2 months will be hard, it will probably drag. I guess you can spend your time checking out trades people, costing out materials etc for the work you wish to do on your property. I will be excited to see what you do.

  6. Ha, I can't believe you said the fateful words "…things may move smoothly…" 😄

    So happy for you, and I am sure we all hope things do go smoothly – wishing you all the luck in the world !

  7. Hi Chris,
    Looks like you're getting some spams! Better ban them..

    The sun is back to Portugal, finally!
    Rain and grey skies should be only allowed at night 😉

    Heading back to Cascais, go treat yourself to that South African restaurant, will you?

  8. After signing the promissory document – contrato promessa de compra e venda – if until the scripture they decide not to sell they must return the deposit in double …….on other hand if you decided no to buy anymore you lose the deposit…..
