Hi again, future European homeowner!
When we decided to move from Ireland to Spain almost eight years ago, we thought we had it all figured out. As EU citizens, we didn't have to worry about visas, so we assumed it would be simple. How hard could it be?
(Spoiler: it was hard).
We were completely unprepared for the mountain of logistical unknowns. Figuring out the tax numbers, opening a bank account, navigating utility contracts, and understanding a property system in a different language... it was a stressful, confusing process. We constantly found ourselves wishing we had a "fixer," someone on the inside who could just tell us how it all worked.
That experience is the "why" behind this newsletter. We love being the "property guide" for our readers and 1:1 clients - the resource we wish we'd had back then. It’s been amazing to see how much support is available now, not just for property, but for all the complex parts of a move.
A Little Help For Your Move to Europe from our friends at Zerra!
We’ve seen a huge interest in Portugal from our 1:1 clients, and with two fantastic Portuguese properties in this week's edition (including a high-performing rental villa in Madeira), we know the "how-to" part of the move is just as important as the "where."
If you're navigating the complexities of relocation, visas or taxes, our friends at Zerra are a fantastic resource. They offer a complete relocation service - handling everything from your visa and residency to your tax strategy (like the new IFICI / NHR 2.0), banking, and accounting, all managed by your own case manager. They're so confident, they offer a 100% Visa Approval Guarantee or your money back.
To help you get started, they've created two essential, free guides:
