We (Swiss) bought our house near Tavira this year and have now been here in Portugal for three months. The Tavira Lawyers organized the purchase of the house for us, including the transfer of all contracts. They also helped us afterwards with important contacts such as insurance companies, tradesmen.... Rui Horta and his team have always supported us in all matters in a friendly manner and at all times. Without this support, we would have been lost in this beautiful country, whose language we do not yet speak. Many thanks to you all! My wife and I can only recommend Tavira Lawyers! We will continue to need you in the future....

I recently completed the purchase of a property with the assistance of Rui Horta and staff.

I found their service friendly and efficient. Rui put me at ease with an aspect of the sale by speaking to me in informal language.

Many thanks.

Rui Horta and his team have helped us to both buy and sell property in Tavira. His knowledge and the degree of service is outstanding.

We can highly recommend him and his team for not only property questions but also for help with contacts with the authorities to take up permanent residence i Portugal.

Their knowledge and understanding of the process made this a stress free experience for us and we would highly recommend this company.

A big thank you is due to Mr Horta and Ms Fernandes for their excellent job in making the whole process of a residential property transaction almost stress free.

We are in the process of acquiring an apartment in Tavira and we are very happy we decided to engage Rui Horta and his team to support us.

When we ask for an action they immediately jump on it and when finished they always ask "what more can we do for you?"

Even remote and long distance apart they are very easy to work with and we highly recommend their services to any Scandinavians with plans to acquire a new home in Algarve, Portugal.

Comment: C'est vraiment un gain de temps et d'énergie d'avoir quelqu'un à qui confier son affaire quand on se trouve à des milliers de kilomètres (Belgique). Une grande chance pour nous de tomber sur ce bureau d'avocat, une équipe parfaite et surtout aucune barrière au niveau de la langue parce que Maître HORTA et son équipe maîtrise la langue de Molière (français), c'est un privilège pour nous. Maître Rui HORTA, nous vous remercions pour les services rendus. Vous êtes quelqu'un de confiance et nous garderons votre carte de visite. Suite au covid-19, occasionnant la fermeture des frontières, le cabinet d’avocat a pu résoudre toutes les démarches administratives avec les compagnies d’électricité, d’eau et de gaz. Tout s’est bien passé. Que le Bon Dieu vous bénisse ainsi que toute votre équipe.

Brilliant!! First purchase of a property in Tavira with no idea what to do or how to sort everything out. As soon as we sat down with Rui, he made everything seem so easy. He immediately fills you with confidence in both his team and himself.

We flew back home, gave Rui Power of Attorney and have now just completed. It all seems to have been so easy.We could not have done it without Rui and the whole team. Thank you and we look forward to picking the keys up soon. You will always have our business for everything legal in Portugal. Ian

Thank you Again for another trouble free purchase all the best Sheila and Mr Horta have a Good Christmas and Happy New Year.

This is the fourth time that we are calling on you for the purchase or sale of real estate and we are always very satisfied with your services.
Congratulations to your entire team for its professionalism.
Best regards

Absolutely excellent service from RUI and the team.
Antonio being Portuguese and me English it was so helpful that all correspondence was in both English and Portuguese.
We felt extremely confident leaving everything In Rui’s capable hands and we were not disappointed.
Massive thank you to RUI, Clara and all the team at Tavira Lawers.
Despite the surname we are not related.

Rui and the team have represented us for the last two and half years, and guided us through two house purchases and also assisted us in many other matters. We cannot speak highly enough about the service we’ve received. Daniela, Sheila and colleagues are all excellent, always friendly and helpful, and patient. A truly excellent team.
 

Dear Rui, Clara and Sheila,
Eleven years ago in 2007 at Christmas time, we bought Casa Golfinho.
As our legal representative and as a friend we always could count on you and your staff. The sale of Casa Golfinho went very smoothly and we are very gratefull that you took care of everything .
Many, many thanks again, warm greetings and kind regards,
Wouter and Margreet Gerth

Marisa was wonderful and sorted everything out no stress ! Would highly recommend her.

“We are very pleased with the level of service and friendliness at Mr. Rui Horta’s law office. Mr. Horta and his staff are swift, friendly, efficient and always helpful. No problem seems to be too big or too small for them to take action and find solutions. We do not hesitate to recommend their services.”
This is a quote from what I wrote in January 2011. 2 apartments, several wills and a few small problems later, and this is still valid! And I keep on recommending your services.

Dr Rui Horta and his dedicated staff at Tavira Lawyers are a breath of fresh air. The team are approachable, personable and totally professional in representing their client's interests. Rui's contacts in the financial sector ensured that our purchase was a seamless process for which we will remain eternally grateful. Thank you.
 

We got excellent support from Mr Horta and his team. Moving to a new country involves learn many new things and there is a lot of processes to go through. Having such good support and guidance through all those helped us so much. Most important tip: start with establishing contact with a lawyer like Mr Horta, only then engage in bidding on a property.

Over the last 8 months, Sue and I have very much appreciated the sage advice, efficient and professional management and the comprehensive support of Rui Horta and the 'Tavira Lawyers' team in the purchase of property in Tavira. Also, since our arrival in Portugal last July, we have found the whole team to be so helpful and knowledgeable in assisting us with fiscal matters, the setting up of utility accounts, health registration and the processing of Portuguese wills. The office team of Sheila, Daniela and Clara have always responded immediately to our requests for help, including the translation of official correspondence. With grateful thanks.

I have used Rui Horta's legal services twice now to purchase property in Tavira and the service has been excellent. Everything is covered smoothly and professionally and no enquiry is too much effort for this firm. Buying from abroad for the first time and having a legal firm that would set up utility services, insurance and recommend other services was invaluable.

"Simply the Best"

Maitre Rui Horta s’est occupé pour mon compte de l’acquisition d’un terrain. Il a pris en charge l’ensemble des opérations avec un grand professionnalisme. Maitre Horta et son équipe sont efficaces, réactifs et il est plaisant de travailler avec eux. Les échanges sont simples, directs et toujours de bon conseil.

Hemos utilizado los servicios del despacho de Rui Horta en varias ocasiones y en cada una de ellas el trato y la eficiencia de todos los implicados ha sido insuperable.
El Señor Horta nos aconsejó a la hora de comprar nuestra casa en Tavira y su ayuda y sus consejos fueron inestimables.
En otro par de ocasiones hemos recurrido a él para consejo profesional y siempre hemos resuleto los problemas con su ayuda con absoluta celeridad.
Sin lugar a dudas recomendaría utilizar sus servicios.

Mr. Horta advised us when buying our house in Tavira and his help and advice were invaluable.
In another couple of times we have turned to him for professional advice and we have always solved the problems with his help with absolute celerity.
With no doubt I would recommend his services.

Cher Maître, après plus de deux ans d'utilisation de vos services, je tenais à vous témoigner ma très grande satisfaction. Vous m'avez accompagné dans la demande du statut de RNH et les différentes démarches administratives qui en découlent, ainsi que dans l'acquisition d'une maison ici en Algarve. Chaque fois que j'ai eu une question où un petit problème administratif ou juridique, vous et votre équipe, avez toujours été là pour m'aider et me trouver les solutions.
Je tiens à vous en remercier très vivement. Il est très rassurant d'avoir quelqu'un pour vous comprendre et vous aider en pays "étranger" chaque fois que nécessaire. Je remercie aussi très chaleureusement votre équipe d'assistantes tant pour la qualité de leur accueil toujours charmant, ainsi que pour leurs grandes compétences. A chaque fois que j'en ai l'occasion, je vous recommande auprès de mes relations qui veulent s'installer au Portugal. Bien sincèrement.

Best rekommendations for RH, rui horta advogado in Tavira, and 'our' lawyer, Marisa Fernandes. We are a Swedish couple which moved permanently to Portugal, one year ago. Through a Swedish friend, living here, with good experiance and help from Marisa he introduced us for her. She has helped us with all necessary papers to become Portuguese in the sence of NIF, NHR, insurance, all contracts you may need if you buy an apartment or a house, and so on. Our estate agent said when we bought our house, such a good lawyer you have, fast in correspondence, correctly. And we agree, when we have needed her help, she answer so quickly. If you need a lawyer in any case, don´t hesitate to contact her. Monika and Kent

I can only agree with the positive comments already posted here. Tavira Lawyers work as an efficient and friendly team. They make the potentially stressful experience of buying or selling a property in an unfamiliar country and language as straightforward as it possibly could be. Thank you.

Thanks for a excellent service to Rui and his team!! Without them we were lost in translation!!
Very professional. Thank you very very much "BAIE DANKI"

Rui and his team are great to work with and extremely helpful. Not speaking the language we gave them power of attorney over our house purchase and everything worked very well. I would highly recommend Tavira Lawyers services.

I purchased some property in Cabanas and used Rui's legal services. At all times Rui and his team were efficient and very professional. They provided a "One Stop Shop" for all my requirements including setting up the various utilities, bank account, acting as my fiscal rep etc. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rui for all your legal and Portuguese requirements. Daire Gildea

Go Rui & Foireann Míle buíochas do gach do chabhair

Undoubtedly the purchase of our apartment in Tavira was the simplest and most efficient purchase we have ever made due to the excellent service from Rui Horta and his team. We left everything in their hands and on our first visit we countersigned paperwork, visited the Land Registry office and opened a bank account within two hours. The service we received at each location was impeccable. Without doubt we would highly recommend Rui Horta to anybody contemplating purchasing property in Portugal.

We were impressed at our first appointment by the complete service Rui Horta offered to make not only the process of purchasing property abroad but the start up service ensuring all the facilities would be in place and standing orders set up it has taken the pressure off us and literally all we had to do was transfer the money. This has made the buying process so much easier and we would recommend Rui Horta to anyone thinking of buying abroad. As we had to return to the UK we gave Rui Horta power of attorney receiving regular email updates and the purchase was concluded on our behalf everything in place for us to return to enjoy our fabulous apartment. Would definitely recommend and we will continue to use this firm for legal services.

Very friendly and efficient service. Everything was arranged for the purchase of my property in Tavira exactly as requested.
I would recommend them to anyone.

COMPETENT AND EXCELLENT SERVICE!
Being a retired German solicitor myself, I really appreciated the one-stop services provided by Rui Horta and his team. Everything went smoothly and well. I can strongly recommend this law firm to anybody looking for a reliable lawyer in the Algarve.

FANTASTIC SERVICE!
I would like to thank Rui Horta solicitors for an excellent service provided for me and my wife in purchasing an apartment in Tavira.
In particular, Marisa, who was our solicitor, was superb; especially as we had to return to England and so we left her with Power of Attourney. In England we were provided with regular updates as to how the property sale was going and answering any enquiries or worries promptly. All legal procedures were completed efficiently and, as a result, the whole process went smoothly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Rui Horta and have retained their services as our fiscal representative.

Very impressed with Rui & his team - I was unable to be in Portugal for the exchange and get the deeds so Rui did it all and let me know when it was done and emailed the deeds to me. Happy to recommend.

Vi kan varmt rekommendera Adv Rui Horta och hans team. Ett STORT och varmt tack för ett professionellt och exellent genomförande av vårt fastighetsköp. Vi kommer med stort förtroende att fortsätta att ha Adv Rui Horta som vår legal advicer.

Excellent handling of all details from beginning till end regarding me settling in Tavira in my new apartment. Everything has been carried out in the best way, and the friendliness from all staff could not have been greater. I feel very content with their work, will stay on as their client in the future. I wish to take this opportunity to recommend this office to all of those in doubt whether or not to engage a solicitor for managing all the work that comes with a property purchase. Don't think twice - just do it!

I would like to thank Dr Rui Manuel Horta and his team for making it possible for me to purchase a flat in Tavira on the last day of my holiday in Portugal, which at first sight seemed like a mission impossible.
In the most professional and efficient way, they took care of everything so that I could fly home to Norway, the next morning, without any worries.
The process went perfectly as expected.
I was touched by their friendliness and reliability at any time, and can highly recommend their services.
Dr Rui Horta/ Taviralawyers is my legal advisor in Portugal, and this makes me feel safe.

I would recommend MR Rui Horta to anyone trying to purchase a property in Portugal he is efficient and what i found if you where ever in Tavira you could go in and see him with out an appointment, this is the second property I have purchased in Portugal but this was the first time i used Rui but i will be using him again.
Regards
Trevor & Lynn Scott

Rui and his team helped us buy our holiday home in Portugal and they were excellent throughout the whole process. Always responding quickly, clearly and comprehensively. I'd certainly recommend them to others.

Je remercie Maître Ruy Horta pour les services rendus.
J'ai été totalement satisfaite de l'efficacité du personnel du cabinet.
Maître Horta à qui j'avais délégué mes pouvoirs a tenu tous les engagements qu'il avait pris.
J'encourage tous les français désirant acquérir un bien au Portugal à passer par son intermédiaire, s'ils souhaitent que tout soit fait dans les temps et les règles avec facilité et un professionalisme digne d'éloge.

Fantastic service from Rui and his team. Took the entire pain of buying property abroad out of my hands. Full end to end assistance in everything from opening a bank account, receiving fiscal number, thru setting up utilities.
Couldnt recommend higher.

My brother and sisters and I were very pleased with the way Rui and his team dealt with our late father's estate in Portugal and the sale of property there. Very efficient and helpful in answering questions and explaining the differences between the process in England and Portugal, and stuck to the fee agreed too which was reassuring.

Many thanks to Rui, Clara and team. Your service was faultless, professional and friendly. Having now completed our purchase we will continue to use your services and would happily recommend you to anyone considering a property purchase.

Thank you Mr Rui Horta for making the purchase of my property in Portugal such a pleasant experience, the first house buying in my life that I can say that about.
I found the practice on the British Consular website which made me feel fairly confident about the level of service I should expect, what the website does not tell you is that Mr Rui Horta is a gentleman and a true professional. From our first meeting he understood that I needed some urgency as other parties were also interested in the property, he left me feeling confident in his ability to carry out the conveyancing swiftly.
A week later I received an email congratulating me on my house purchase. Mr Horta the service you offer is 'SIMPLY THE BEST'.    

O profissionalismo e simpatia do Dr Rui Horta (e Dra Marisa Fernandes) e da sua equipa é excelente. Ficamos muito satisfeitos pelo apoio ao cliente. Os preços sao acessiveis. Os conselhos dados sao realistas e nao nos iludem em falsas expectativas. Recommendamos este gabinete de advocacia em todos os aspectos. Cumprimentos, Silvia A. de Paris.

Le professionalisme et la sympathie de ce cabinet d'avocats sont excellents. La satisfaction du client et le suivi des dossiers sont assurés. Les conseils reçus sont réalistes et ne nous donnent pas de fausses ilusions. Les prix sont accessibles. Nous recommandons ce cabinet d'avocats en tous points. Cordialement, Sylvia A. de Paris.

The service is perfect, we could not feel more comfortable. We can recommend this office to everybody. Thank you very much to help us realising our dream.

Horta en collega's hebben onze zaken uitstekend afgehandeld. We felt taken care of.

I cannot even express the efficiency of this law firm. Everything was done seamlessly. I have heard so many stories of people waiting months for everything to be completed and not having any communication. This experience for us was the complete opposite. The communication was constant, we always knew when things were going to happen and if anything was needed from us. I would recommend Rui Horta very highly!

O serviço do advogado Rui Horta e seu staff foi excelente,por seu profissionalismo e cortesia.Eu falo com meus amigos italianos apenas que boa.

Many thanks to you Rui and your capable and friendly staff for making the process of purchasing property in Tavira easy and enjoyable. We are extremely happy with the process and the outcome and will be happy to recommend your services to our best friends.

Excellent speedy service from Dr Rui Horta and his team. Every effort was made to help us and we were received with a friendly welcome on each visit. All aspects of the conveyance went smoothly. We have no hesitation in recommending this practice.

Excellent service from Rui and his very efficient and helpful staff. Trouble free in all aspects of the purchace and conveyancing of our property. No hesitation recommending Rui and the team. Many thanks.

Excellent service and kept upto date with the progress of the purchase of property would be very pleased and confident to recommend Rui and his staff to anyone. 5 Star service.

Extremely pleased with the service we were given even though we were not even in the country we were in uk and rui and his staff kept us upto date regularly with the property progress and was done it was all finalised within the week.

The service we received from Dr Rui, Clara and his team is second to none. Having been recommend by our estate agent, our apartment purchase was made to be extremely easy, stress free and with great efficiency, surpassing all of our expectations. Dr Rui and his team always do what they promise and no questions from us , however insignificant were left unanswered. We will carry on to use Dr Rui's services for all our legal affairs. We would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Dr Rui, Clara and team.

The service we received from Rui and his team was second to none. They made the purchase of our appartment in portugal stress free. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. Many thanks.

I can say that Mr. Horta and his staff are the most helpful and kindest I have the pleasure to deal with.Nothing was ever to much trouble for them.I would highly reccommend them to anyone.Thanks Mr .Horta and your wonderful staff.Peter and Mary

Dr. Rui is an excellent and efficient professional. He handled our house purchase with absolute efficiency. The great thing about Dr. Rui and Clara Rosa is that when they promise to do something, they do it. Besides this, they are great fun to deal with and always enjoy a laugh and a joke - the way business should be.
I recommend this law office especially as I moved here from a lawyer in who I was no longer confident.

We are very pleased with the level of service and friendliness at Mr. Rui Hortas law office. Mr. Horta and his secretaties are swift, friendly, efficient and always helpful. No problem seems to be too big or too small for them to take action and find solutions. We had heard that property acquisition in Portugal was time consuming and difficult, but in the hands of Rui Horta, it proved to be quick, easy and hassle free. We do not hesitate to recommend their services.

Stavanger, January 2011. Bård Inge Thun and Ellen Nordvik

Vi ble anbefalt Rui Horta da jeg besøkte en stand for boligkjøp i syden. Det første vi gjorde var å besøke Horta for å få ordnet med fiscalnummer. Deretter ble det kjøp av eiendom. Rui Horta tok seg av alle formaliteter på en svært betyggende måte. Det var stort sett bare å hente nøklene og flytte inn. Senere når det har vært behov for private eller offentlige tjenester og spørsmål om hvem vår fiscal representant er, er alltid responesen positiv når vi sier det er Rui Horta. Vi føler oss godt ivaretatt. Horta kan varmt anbefales.

We would just like to say that Rui and his team ensured that the purchase of our property in Portugal this summer was absolutely stress free and hassle free for us. Our queries were dealt with promptly and efficiently and in a professional but friendly manner. In particular we would like to thank Clara and Sheila who never made us feel that our questions were silly ones! An all round exceptional service!

Used the services of Rui for six years now and find Rui ,Clara and Sheila very friendly and helpful. Full reccomend them

Have been "dealing" with Rui for over 5 years now and . . . . without any hesitation I can recommend Rui to look after your legal affairs, he knows the in-outs of Portugese law and has a solution for the MOST complex cases ! He comes highly recommended !
Max van Peer - Belgium

We bought our property in Fonte Santa in 2005 and were recommended to Rui Horta by our agents Land & Houses. He provided a superbly efficient and friendly service, making the transaction so easy. We have since used him for making wills and he is now our fiscal representative. Together with Clara, his assistant, we cannot recommend them highly enough. Jon & Carole Rawson

Rui Horta and his assistant Clara Rosa have made the purchase of our apartment in Tavira a stress free experience. The team has been highly effective, responsive and professional at all times and confidently guided us through each step of the process.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Rui Horta to anyone looking for a lawyer in the Tavira area.
Lisa and Paul - London

We bought a nice piece of Portugese land in Sto. Estevao, but with a slight land problem. Rui fixed this nicely for us. Than we started to build our house with builder Mestre e Cavaco. The team of Rui Horta and Mestre is the best if you ever decide to buy land and build your own house.
No problems and ready within one year which is even for Portugese standards remarkable quick. As Rui did a lot of inspection on the building site he ruined his dancing shoes.But we replaced them by nice dutch wooden shoes. Also his team of Clara and Sheila helped a lot. The after-sales is perfect.
Thank you.

All I can say is a big thank you to Rui Clara and team for making the purchase of my house so stress free. You really are true professionals and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend your company to anybody Mark Talbot Berkshire UK

We say it in Dutch so the Dutch clients can understand it. Can you? Het was/is bijzonder prettig zaken doen met dhr. Rui Horta en vooral Clara heeft ons goed bijgestaan in allerlei "probleempjes". Met vragen via e-mail of in het kantoor was men direkt en snel behulpzaam. Ons makelaarskantoor Altavida zijn we dan ook dankbaar dat ze voor ons dit advocatenkantoor heeft aanbevolen.Men heeft ons verzekerd dat we in de toekomst altijd op hun kunnen rekenen.

Purchasing a property aboard is always awkward and may even seem daunting. However, I would like to say that working with Mr. Rui Horta and his staff has been a pleasure; they have made the process a seamless operation. They are always available and prompt in their replies to any concerns or queries you may have. We are still with them and I sincerely recommend their services.

Vlak voor Kerstmis 2007 kochten wij via de makelaar Michael Julian Propiedades een heerlijk huis in Belmonte, Luz de Tavira.
In Holland waren wij gewaarschuwd voor de Portugese traagheid en bureaucratie van de diverse overheidsinstanties.
Rui Horta en zijn vriendelijke assistentes hebben het tegendeel bewezen. Notabene op 2e Kerstdag startten wij de onderhandelingen in zijn smaakvol ingerichte kantoor. Wij kregen een fiscaalnummer en hij regelde personlijk een bankaccount bij de Banco Espirito Santo.
Binnen een maand, zoals afgesproken, werd de verkoopakte gepasseerd bij de notaris.
Riu Horta is niet de goedkoopste, maar wel de beste. Hij is strikt ter zake, duidelijk en houdt zich aan zijn gemaakte afspraken.
Zoals voorgeschreven door de Portugese wet, treedt hij voor ons, als niet-ingezetenen, op als onze legal representative.
Wij kunnen hem aan iedereen van harte aanbevelen voor alle juridische zaken.
Wouter en Margreet GERTH.

Rui Horta's Law Office in Tavira came highly recommended to us via my Cousin who used his practice when purchasing an Apartment in Cabanas in 2006.
Along with Rui all his staff have been very helpful. Although all our correspondence has been done via e.mail and telephone we finally met them all at Christmas.
They have made our purchase of an Apartment in Cabanas so easy and today had a e.mail to confirm completion.
We have no hesitation in recommending them, not only as professionals, but also as people.
We look forward to going to Tavira and thanking them in person, and confirming we wish them to become our lawyers for any further transactions.

Mr Rui Horta was recommended to me by a local estate agent in Tavira.I have recently purchased an apartment in Cabanas with the excellent help and knowledge of Mr Horta and his assistant Clara. The buying process in Portugal was explained to me in an easy and straight forward way and I was kept appraised of every step of the process via Email and telephone calls from Mr Horta/Clara. I found Mr Horta and Clara easy to contact and very efficient in every thing they do. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Horta to anyone looking for a lawyer in Tavira and I look forward to doing business with Mr Horta and Clara in the future.

Nederlanders-Belgen , Rui Horta's services are second to none ! Moch U legale problemen hebben of een vakantiehuis in Portugal willen kopen laat dan de hele koop aan Rui over, U bent in goede handen!!!

I have been a regular visitor to Portugal for many years and finally purchased a property in July 2007, Dr Rui Horta was recomended to me by various independent parties and I have no hesitation in recomending him and his extremely professional secretary Clara, they both speak perfect english and made the legal side of the purchase a very simple and stress free experience,they kept in touch with us every step of the way, explained each process of legality in an understandable way,simply put they were great!many thanks to Rui and Clara.A very satisfied and appreciative client,
kind regards,

We bought an apartment in Tavira in April 2007 and were introduced to Mr Horta by a local estate agent.
We have found Mr Horta to be a friendly,courteous, and professional lawyer who is extremely conscientious in looking after our interests.
His competent secretary,Clara is also very helpful and like Mr Horta speaks English very well.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Horta and his staff to anyone who requires legal advice, particularly if they are thinking about buying property in Portugal.
Harry and Jacqueline Young, Largs, Scotland.UK

Rui Horta has been wonderful in helping me to but an apartment in Vila Real de Santo Antonio - particularly in checking the land ownership on one property and saving me from making a big mistake. I consider him to be a good friend as well as an excellent lawyer.
Clara has also been really helpful - especially when I've struggled to understand how to manage my bank account in Portugal.
I would recommend this firm very highly and I will continue to use them for all my legal and financial business.

We have used Rui Horta`s services for buying an apartment in Tavira. We were very happy with his assistance and can strongly recomend him and his company.

We bought an apartment in October 2007. We were introduced to Mr. Horta by an estate agent. Mr. Horta looked after all of the legal requirements for the purchase of the property and the setting up of bank accounts, direct debits etc. We found the service provided by Mr. Horta to be extremely good. He was assisted by his very efficient and dedicated secretary Clara Rosa. The fact that Mr. Horta and Clara spoke very good english was of great benefit throughout the proceedings. We would highly recommend Mr. Horta and his staff to anyone seeking legal advice.
