Customer Reviews

Odete Lauritzson Sep, 20 2022

Claudia was very helpful in dealing with my queries of dealing with receiving inheritance and drafting POA's for my brother. She invested a lot of additional time trying to understand the needs of the banks in drafting the POA that is needed to show the different banks.

I would definitely use Claudia again for other Portuguese law related matters.

Leonard Baker Aug, 17 2021

We found Claudia a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. The reason being is that she was competent and helpful at all times. She was efficient without being pushy.

She also worked very logically and systematically making sure everything was achieved in a stress free manner. And she was friendly!

Connor Gray, Castelo Branco Aug, 16 2021

Claudia went to every effort to help with our cases. We first asked her to help us with our property purchase and she was exactly what we needed as we didn't really have a clue what we were doing.
The sale went through absolutely pain-free and we were so happy we asked her to continue on to advise on our residency.

Unfortunately we hit complications but only due to the current global issues, Covid19 & Brexit, So we had to return the the UK. But even during all of that she kept us up to date, well informed and we really felt we had her on our side.

I will be staying in touch with Claudia when we return, I would use her services again and I would (and have) happily recommend her to friends.

Claude Waddington, Lisbon Jan, 25 2021

Claudia went above and beyond to help us, my partner and I have been extremely happy with her responsiveness, effectiveness in sorting everything for us in a very short time. We have compared the service value, and Claudia's services have been the best value for money, and she was very professional.

Thank you ever so much, we will be return customers.

Continue being awesome!

Abigail Stancliffe-Vaughan Dec, 17 2022

Claudia is friendly and funny and also very professional. She gave us honest straight answers at all times and advised where needed. Our estate agent behaved very badly and she was calm and measured about this whilst keeping us fully informed.

Anthony Wroe Jan, 31 2023

Claudia has been very professional and has gone above and beyond in assisting in a house purchase. She has been very patient and has always made herself available at the earliest opportunity when questions have arisen.

I couldn't fault her at any point during our business, and will use her again when we look to move to Portugal in the near future.

Leonard Baker Mar, 11 2023

Very competant and a lovely person too. Very efficient. Very knowledgable.

Janet Malone Jul, 31 2023

She made what could have been complicated and stressful into a simple process

Customer Reviews

Joseph Costa, U.S. Aug, 16 2021

Laura was great. Of course I was hesitant sending money overseas to someone I didn't know but after speaking to Laura I was at ease.

Laura always responded to my emails and when I informed her that I never received my paperwork in the mail, there were no questions and she sent out more paper special delivery which I received within a week.

If need be I would contact Laura to have work done and will advise any friends to do the same.
