Relocation Services
A new life, coordinated.
Finding and buying the right property in Madeira is the beginning, not the end. What follows — registering your NIF, opening a Portuguese bank account, navigating the residency application, enrolling children in the right school, understanding the healthcare system, finding a reliable local contractor — is where many international buyers become unstuck.
This service coordinates all of it. We act as your single point of contact for the full lifecycle of relocation: from the day you decide to move, through the legal setup, and into the rhythm of daily island life. You deal with us. We deal with everyone else.
Relocation Services expand our Phase 1 buyer's advocacy into a full-spectrum arrival service, progressively available to clients from late 2025. Register your interest below and we will confirm availability and timing with you directly.
