Description
This house is a magnificent example of 'Portuguese Suave' architectural style, which combines traditional elements of Portuguese architecture with influences from Art Nouveau and Beaux-Arts styles. The villa is well-known in Granja Beach for its beauty and privileged location, right in front of the beach, offering unobstructed sea views. The house features three living rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, two bathrooms, and five bedrooms, as well as a basement for parking and storage. There are also several annexes in the garden. Although this house requires modernization, it is a classified property and offers an opportunity to live in a historic house with a privileged location. GRANJA BEACH The construction of the railway line from Porto to Granja, inaugurated in 1875, was a significant milestone in the development of the beach. The arrival of the train made the beach more accessible to a larger number of people, especially residents of Porto, who could easily travel to enjoy its calm waters and beautiful landscapes. Over time, several villas, mansions, and stately homes were built in the Granja Beach area, many of which belonged to aristocratic and bourgeois families. These residences contributed to the development of the area as a privileged summer destination. Throughout the 20th century, Granja Beach continued to be a popular destination for bathers and tourists. Improvements were made to the supporting infrastructure over the years, such as the construction of walkways, terraces, and sanitary facilities. Today, Granja Beach maintains its charm and remains frequented by bathers, surfers, and vacationers. Its tranquil atmosphere, the natural beauty of the coast, and the architectural characteristics of the old houses make it a unique and special place in Vila Nova de Gaia. #ref: 92100

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Portugal will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £51,381 more.
