If you're buying a house in Portugal, you MUST LEARN to spot the humidity issues, insulation & more!

Описание: That “perfect” home in Portugal?
It might have hidden mold traps, poor insulation, and quick-fix cover-ups instead of real repairs.

If you’re living in Portugal or about to move here, you can’t just trust what you see on the surface: even freshly painted walls can be hiding moisture damage, and that “character” in the bathroom tiles might be a warning sign you shouldn’t ignore!

What you'll learn in this video:
How to spot cosmetic repairs hiding bigger problems;
How to look for humidity, lack of insulation, and other concealed problems!
The small but critical red flags that can save you from years of frustration (and expensive repairs)
How to make informed decisions and avoid wasting time (and money) on properties that aren’t worth pursuing.

When inspecting a building, look out for red flags like structural cracks, which could indicate issues with structural integrity. Don't ignore any unusual odors and always be aware of hazardous materials like asbestos. Avoid costly mistakes by doing a thorough property inspection before you buy or rent!
