Discover a new culture with a Portuguese mortgage

The Portuguese are renowned for their warm hospitality and great love of children. Any young family looking to get a Portuguese mortgage can be reassured that Portugal is a great place to settle your family and with the abundance of family properties for sale, the perfect house can be found to start your life abroad.

Find a Portuguese mortgage perfect for your young family

If your children are of school age then before you move to Portugal, you will need to decide on what type of schooling you want. State schools are free and for younger children are a great way of making friends and learning the language. For older children with important exams coming up, private international schooling may be a better option. They can be found in abundance around Portugal and many will teach the same curriculum taught in England. As lessons are taught in English at international schools, your children also won't have to worry about learning Portuguese on top of studying for exams.
Away from school, the temperate climate and sociable outdoor lifestyle will provide your child with ample opportunities to make new friends and try new things. In the summer the beaches are a hive of activity, while in the winter there are plenty of activities available such as trips to the cinema, bowling and karting to keep your young ones amused.

A Portuguese mortgage to give your family a better quality of life

For the very small, there are plenty of creches that will take infants from birth up to three years of age. Nursery schools are either staffed by educadores, who have a four-year university or polytechnic training or nurses and social workers, both of whom have tertiary-level professional qualifications. This gives you the peace of mind that your child will be well looked after by people with professional experience in childcare.
Attending nursery school of Jardims de Infancia from ages three to five is optional. State-run nursery schools are free of charge and generally have maximum class sizes of 25. Private nursery schools with smaller class sizes are also readily available.
Whatever the age of your child, moving to Portugal will provide them with the opportunity to discover a new culture and learn a new language as well as the chance to enjoy a warmer climate and a more sociable, outdoor lifestyle away from their games consoles and TVs.
