Is anyone able to tell where the junction that joins the two paths (to go back to the car park) is? After the old brick hut I cannot seem to find the junction I just go straight up the hill and find the path by fluke but I really want to go up to the junction point to complete it properly

Looks like a good property buy with lots of potential. Like ypur sense of humour.

Doing this from Scotland in June!!

Lovely insight into the task you are undertaking. You've done a grand job on the Olives. For brambles, I find sharp secateurs (like Felco) and a pair of glass cutters or other armoured gloves really work well. Keep up the good work!

Great to see you both are back. 😊 i do hope it's a longer stay this time round. Your place looks amazing well looked after. Not to mention great job on the olive trees. Thank you for sharing.

Avoid toil roads

Snoring cat and Mcdonalds down the North pole LOL you made me smile ;) By the way we got the same marshmallow BBQ sticks !!! Andrius got them from BP petrol station !!! was lovely to meet you and thank you for your gifts to us !!!! xxx see you soon vizinhos xxxx

I really found your humour disagreeable. You made your journey far more expensive than necessary by travelling on the peages. Using the N roads would have save you a lot of money for about an extra hour’s driving a day. As for the hotel, why were you so rude about it? You obviously chose it knowing what it was. It will have been cheaper and cleaner than anything similar in the U.K. if you had wanted luxury why didn’t you chose and pay for luxury? You touched Spain? Isn’t it over 400 minimum miles from the French border to Portugal? I won’t be subscribing.

Imagine the same journey in an EV? You'd be suffering from PTSD by the time you arrived.

Welcome back, I missed the updates on the Portugal project. I hope everything was still there how you left it. Please keep us informed on your plans and take care!

Please explain better the stickers on the back lights of the car. I did not understand it very well, and I m driving to Portugal soon. Thanks

"quality accomodation in France" :D

Welcome to my country. Love your sense of humour 😂

Could you tell me what 4g camera you use please?. I've been looking at the cheep chinese ones, but not sure if they support bands 1,8,20 which seem most common in Portugal regardless of whether MEO, NOS or Vodafone are used?

Lov your videos from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

Thank you for the costs. I have been considering doing this twice a year utilising the Schenghen travel allowance. But I am now thinking it may be cheaper to fly with a budget airline and hire a car or take the train. Seems you did not have any issues importing your tools and other items, but if you did it could have got even more expensive.

WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, PLEASE CONTINUE

Amazing, such a stunning place! I’ve never been but it’s on my list. Can I ask if this was filmed on a jazzy camera or a GoPro type action camera please? Looks stunning

Lovely video, thanks for sharing. Responsible Wild Camping is fantastic and very regenerative to our health. It's just sad that so many people do not respect nature and leaving signs of themselves behind.

Hope you guys are ok since it’s been a month. And you just got the new land. Are you guys working on the ruins still?

Wonderful. Am headed to look for a small farm in Central. Finishing up an 1857 renovation in Upstate NY USA. Bought my ticket and have a rent a car arrive Dec 6th into Lisbon. Thanx for the inspiration. Cheers Gina headed to Portugal

Fantastic video❤❤❤

Hi, can you remember how long the walk was?

Has the orange tree survived the sheep?

WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY, I WILL LEAVE 1 TIP! VISIT THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COIMBRA, FOUNDED IN 1290. WHERE BOOKS ARE PRESERVED BY BATS! THAT FEED ON ANIMALS THAT FEED ON PAPER! HUGS

Just to make very clear on the statement "seek legal advice if you can" I would like to rephrase that for anyone saying that into 'Seek legal advice, always'. One simple must do that. No matter if you do things with or without an estate agent. Estate agents lie(sell). Thats all they need and want to do usually. They can say something has a habitation license but if it doesnt and you purchased it then well you cant live there and need to find a... Real estate agent to sell. (Altough you did explain things why and how later on) 😀 So this is basically a reiteration p.s. You gave awesome advice

António Silva Portugal é um país bonito e tem bom clima.

Why did the portugees leave this land ????

Great comedy, just curious but do the buildings have habitation license? My wife and I have been searching but have heard mixed things about what you can and can’t build

I just bought a beautiful land in central Portugal and I am very excited to start my new journey .

Hi I was wondering if you could help me, is this a permit area where you camped.

Stunning. Crush your competition with smzeus.

If you want to get rid of the mimosa trees you'll have to pull them out from their roots. If they're too big to be pulled, try peeling their bark at about 30cms from the ground and go as deep into the roots as possible. That'll dry them and kill them.

HELLO. I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS VERY MUCH I WILL LEAVE 1 TIP, USE THE EMPTY SILICONE PACKAGING AND FILL IT WITH MORE LIQUID CEMENT TO FILL THE HOLES THAT ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE. HUGS

Best voice over on YT! 😅

if you sneeze too hard on those doors those skinny woodpieces are gonna crumble though... but hey it looks locked atleast

Are you coming to live in Portugal?

Are you using a local solicitor to get your exemption? I've just bought a similar property in Penamacor and need to do the same.

The NIF is dead easy. Walk into finances and ask for one.

To find out the status of any property, plot of land or building, before you make an offer, get a copy of the Caderneta Predial of that property from the seller or agent, take it to the local Camara Municipal and ask them what you CAN DO and CAN'T DO with that property. Ask if the property is registered as rustic or urban. Can you renovate an exisitng old building for habitation? Build new? How many square meters can you build? The local Camara has the answer to all your questions. The Caderneta Predial is like the ID document of a property, all properties have a Caderneta. It shows the property registration number, the status such as rustic or urban land, or mixed, the owner(s) name, the boundaries, total area. Agents cannot offer a property for sale without having received the Caderneta, so don't be fooled if they say they don't have the Caderneta. If they don't give you a copy of the Caderneta it may be because they are trying to hide something, they don't want you to find out there are problems. It happens a lot. The seller(s) can print as many copies of the Caderneta Predial as they wish from their online tax account, all free. If you want a written reply from the Camara Municipal, you can fill a PIP request form (Pedido de Informaçao Prévia) and it'll cost you around 30 Euros. But if they are not very busy at the Camara, they'll give you all the information there and then free of charge. Just get a copy of that Caderneta. Any decent agent & seller will give you copies of all the documents speedily.

There's a lot of misunderstanding about the 1951 EXEMPTION from having an habitation license. Here's some points: 1. The habitation license is a document that started being required for all HABITATION buildings built after 1951 to present date, it is issued by the Camara Municipal of each area, and it states that the building was built to be a habitation according to all the requirements at the date of construction. 2. All buildings built for habitation BEFORE 1951 were exempt of having an habitation licence, that exemption still applies today if these buildings are in their original shape, not renovated, and that's why those habitations can be sold without an habitation licence today. 3. This exemption to have an habitation license ONLY APPLIES to HABITATIONS. It does not apply to farm support buildings, such as barns, sheds, animal sheds, shepperds huts, etc with roof or without, even if people lived in such places. For instance, sometimes very poor folks came to work for a farmer and may have lived in those stone barns a long time ago, but it does not make them into habitations. Same for shepperds living in stone barns etc. 4. What matters is if the land where the old stone barn stands is registered as URBAN, which means that a habitation can be made in that urban plot, either by renovating the building already there or by demolishing and building new, subject to the required approval of the project, of course. If the plot of land is registered as RUSTIC you cannot build anything, unless the status of the plot is changed from rustic to urban. EASY if the plot is in or near a village, very DIFFICULT if it's in the middle of nowhere, IMPOSSIBLE if it's in the middle of forest because of the high risk of forest fires. 5. The habitation license must be upgraded each time there are major renovations done to the house. If you buy an habitation (please note the word HABITATION, not barn or farm support building) that was built before 1951, it should be exempt from an habitation license if it is still in its original shape. You can buy it without an habitation license, and if you don't do anything to it, you can sell it again without an habitation license. BUT... if you renovate it you'll need to upgrade its status and get an habitation license. You won't be able to sell or rent a renovated building without an habitation license. The exemption is NOT forever... only till the house is renovated and the documents updated. If you are going to buy a renovated building it should have an habitation license. If it doesn't, don't buy it without one. 6. The 1951 exemption does not apply to any other buildings that were not habitations when they were built. Estate agents often say stone barns are exempt from an habitation license because they were built before 1951, they are (almost) telling the truth because... stone barns don't need a license or any document to be a barn, but they are not and never were an HABITATION. You can't make a home / habitation in a stone barn. The exemption is not for stone barns & agricultural support buildings. A barn is a barn. Different from an habitation. It's like saying: I found a bridge built before 1951 and therefore I can make a home under it without an habitation license. Bonkers? Hope this helps to understand what is an exemption from habitation license.

In Portugal buyers NEVER pay anything to a estate agent. I'm worried you've been SCAMMED. I don't understand WHY you had to sign a contract with the estate agent. Again... I think it was a scam to get some money from you. You don't say what kind of contract that was? Do you have a copy of it? You may be able to claim compensation for being misled and taken advantage of, you may be able to get something like 50,000 Euros compensation. The only contratct that is signed when you decide you want to buy a property is a Promisory Contract (Contracto de Promessa de Compra e Venda). It can only be signed with the OWNER of the property (not the agent...) and that contract states that the owner promises to sell the property to the BUYER for xxx price and the buyer promises to buy it, under some terms & conditons such as a date for completion. If the seller broke the terms of the contract he would have to give the deposit back to the buyer IN DOUBLE as a penalty. If the buyer decided he no longer wanted to buy, with no good reasons such as being misled, or the seller did not have the correct documents to finish the sale, the buyer would loose the deposit he paid. BUT... the Promisory Contract is only necessary when the buyer is going to apply for a loan from a bank to buy the property, as the bank will need to have a copy of this Promisory Contract to prepare the loan / mortgage. Banks in Portugal don't give loans / mortgages on land so this contract would never be needed in this case here. You don't need to sign a Promisory Contract if you are ready to buy and have the money. If you made an offer and it was accepted, you then agree a date to complete the sale with the seller and the seller books an appointment with a notary (any notary anywhere in Portugal, but usually a local one) and you pay the price agreed to the seller at the notary when you sign the deeds transfer by bankers cheque or through your solicitor as was done in this case. You could sign a Promisory Contract to SECURE the property for yourself, if there were a lot of people interested and the seller might sell to someone else if you had not sign a contract. A DEPOSIT is paid with the signing of a Promisory Contract: always paid to the SELLER never to the agent, and later it would be deducted from the total price of the property, and you'd pay the balance at the notary on day of comletion. In all cases the Promisory Contract should be signed at a solicitor or better still, at a NOTARY. It incurs a fee paid by the buyer. Buyers & sellers can sign such contrats between themselves without involving professionals and save the fee (the portuguese do that all the time) but it is not advised if you don't understand the text, don't know the language and laws. You did well to involve a solicitor, but perhaps you should have done it earlier before signing any contract. Don't sign anything without a solicitor. The going rate to hire a bilingual solicitor to help you with the buying process will be around 200 to 300 Euros and this should cover all work to check all documents relating to the property are in order, prepare the Promisory Contract if there is one, as well as advising the buyer on status / type of property they are buying and possible pitfalls. Not all solicitors are equally competent. For anyone intending on buying a property in Portugal, please be aware of agents, AGENTS DO LIE about the property legal details, it's very common, they just want to close the sale and get their commission, they'll never suffer any consequences for their lies. Please be aware of solicitors as well... someone posted on another video that she got a solicitor through a recommendation on an expat Facebook group and got charged around 3000 Euros, when the going rate is around 200 to 300 Euros. A notary, which is registered with the government and acts to uphold the law / legal process for the government, charges around 300 Euros for the transfer of deeds. Solicitors have less reponsability than a notary. A good way to find a good solicitor is to ask any notary in the area you are buying. Notaries do know solicitors well as they work with them every day. They also know which ones to avoid... but they can't tell you about those, of course.

Well done and welll said. make sure that you have a layer on your side. (let me guess, you used Liliana)

Hi , thanks alot for this helpful information...🙏 Is it possible for you to give me your solicitors contact details? 🌻

Your pretty funny. Talking about not having a Portuguese bank account how do you pay property tax? Walk up to the office and pay ? And another crazy thing I keep hearing is others using your land for sheep or something else, I would hate that. He’s probably been doing it before you got there but you own it now. On another off grid show I watch they had ppl hunting wild boar in their backyard so you would hear gunshots. He had to run over without getting shot and asked them to get off the private property. It’s crazy how they just walk around not giving a beeeeep. Anyways love your videos keep it up. Sorry I don’t know your names yet.
