Pure Portugal Ltd: About Us

We advertise properties for sale plus holiday accommodation and property to rent, mainly in the Beiras region of Central Portugal, and focusing on the area between the Serra da Estrela and Serra da Lousã, an area that we know and love, and want you to enjoy too.

As you may have guessed from our name, we put particular emphasis on the traditional and natural aspects of both the area we work in and the properties we advertise. Central Portugal is commonly known as the 'green heart of Portugal' - and we'd like it to stay that way!

Many of the properties we advertise are built and/or renovated using traditional methods and local materials. Many of them also incorporate environmentally friendly design, alternative energy systems, and grow - or are suitable for growing - organic produce.

Advertising Properties for Sale, Holiday Accommodation & Rentals

Pure Portugal Ltd is not a seller of real estate, nor an agent for property owners. Pure Portugal Ltd offers paid advertising for holiday accommodation and property for sale in Central Portugal and our role in the letting and sale of properties is limited to publishing advertising provided by owners & agents and providing a venue for communications about a property. We are not responsible for, and do not engage in, brokering, selling, purchasing, exchanging, or leasing advertised properties.

For full terms and conditions of advertising a property for sale, please see our Advertising Agreement.

That said, we are happy to offer informal advice on all aspects of property purchase and sale, holiday accommodation, rentals, and living and working in Central Portugal. Our sister site www.pureportugal.info provides information for tourists and resident foreigners - everything from purchasing a property to bringing your pets to Portugal.

Co-operative Business

We are a small business, a workers' co-operative, registered as a limited company in England. As such, we are able to give you a personal service (indeed, many of the people we have helped are now good friends). Co-op members have a broad knowledge of the business as a whole and so you will not spend hours on the phone waiting to be passed from department to department (although you will often be passed directly to the owner or agent of a property we advertise).

Inernet Business

We are an internet-based business, thus we can reduce our overheads, keeping our fees very reasonable and competitive. We're in this business to enable us to live our dream, not to make huge profits - we have our own smallholding, so we are often out on our land, or out on our horses (so if you're also dreaming about smallholding, living a more natural life, eager to renovate or build in an environmentally friendly way, or want to buy an equestrian property in the sun we know what you're talking about!) - so we're not always available to answer the phone during normal office hours (now you know why you got an email from us at 1am!) - for this reason we prefer that you email us rather than phone - you're more likely to get a faster response this way too. If you really need to call us, our numbers are: 00351 235418467 / 917147767.

We try to keep our website as simple as possible, making it easy to read and navigate on all browsers. We are constantly trying to improve upon the website (our current tasks are to make all our pages World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) compliant and to add easily printable .pdf versions - using Adobe Acrobat - of all property details) and your comments and suggestions are very welcome: sophie@pureportugal.co.uk.

Investing in the Future

As our company grows we are able to support other sustainable and ethical companies and projects, at the moment these include:
Eco-Living Portugal sustainable living project in Central Portugal.
The Lammas Project creating an ecovillage in Pembrokeshire which will become a demonstration model for low impact living.
Rootstock an investors co-op, supporting independent and ethical co-operatives in the UK, part of Radical Routes.
União Progressiva de Chão Sobral non-profit association for the improvement and renewal of the culture and environment of Chão Sobral village and surrounding countryside.

If you have a project that you think deserves our support (particularly if based in Central Portugal), we'll be happy to hear from you: accounts@pureportugal.co.uk.
