Portugal is the new hotspot in which to resettle or buy your holiday home. It is cheap  and beautiful with a very pleasant climate. 

For the last 15 years foreigners have slowly trickled in to live the "dream life in the sun". Most of those either bought a ruin and reconstructed or an old habitable house to renovate.

In those days it was easy and very cheap.People built without permission as control was weak. However with the introduction of the euro, prices started rising and the new CE controls were also being put into effect.

It is due to this that in the last two years, Portugal is becoming witness to an exciting new concept  - log cabins and wooden homes.

The reason for this is simple. Land is cheap and abundantly available. Wooden construction is cheap and planning permission and building licences are simpler to attain. This combination plus other savings (architect etc) allows the aquisition of an affordable home on location of your dreams !
