Vilamoura Property

There is a wide selection of Vilamoura property to choose from if you are looking to buy a holiday home.

There is no end of modern developments that offer secure apartments usually set in well maintained gardens with communal swimming pools and parking.

One bedroom apartments in these modern complexes start at around €125,000 and go up to to just under €200,000. If you are looking for something with a sea view then expect these prices to increase quite considerably. Usually these kind of apartments in Vilamoura come with an equipped kitchen, fitted bathroom, a good sized lounge and a bedroom with fitted wardrobes.

Villas start at around €300,000 but the normal prices are nearer to €400,000. For that kind of money you are looking at buying a good sized three bedroom, three bathroom villa with a nice garden and pool.

The same principles apply for buying a Villa and an apartment in Vilamour.

If the property you are buying is for a holiday home then the key areas to consider are the immediate surroundings. Where are the nearest shops and restaurants?

Can you walk into the town or the marina and if not then how much is a taxi going to cost? Which way the apartment faces is also of major importance. East facing gives you the morning sun which might be a welcome break in the summer when the afternoons and evenings get hot, west facing gives you evening sun, north facing gives you no direct sun and south facing is the most popular orientation as you get sun more or less all day.

Please remember one thing though: Although in the UK and northern Europe it is great to have sun all day it can be too much here on the Algarve and you good find yourselves spending a fortune on air conditioning.

One final word, if you are buying on a complex be sure to find out a bit about how the development is run and what the annual charges are. If possible I would try and speak to the actual President of the residents association before making an offer.
