@dafnii Bom dia,
First I must apologise for my very late response. We have been in Portugal cleaning the house ready for half term when we shall return with grandkids.
It is always so hard to return to England, but it is something we must do for a few more years.
When we are in Portugal I am far too busy to check the forum or other media, we use our time as productively as possible. We have been set back 18 months by the covid restrictions on travel.
So to get back to your questions.
We valued our personal goods based on what we insured them for.
So everything we bought over was things that we have some attachment to. Stuff we really like and that we know would look good in the house. Furniture, gym equipment, my tools, clothes, shoes, dinner service set, cutlery, kitchen equipment,pots, pans etc. It soon accumulated. What we most definitely did bring was books. We have laods of books but they are too heave and bulky to move over and we don't think worth it. We have read them anyway.
As regards big electrical items, we bought new in Alcobaca. We had great service from what we think is a GALP franchise called Cristo Cruz. They also sorted out the gas problem we had when we took possession of the house with 24 hours of us visiting the shop.
We did bring three TV's but we cannot get any of them to work on the aerial cable in the house. They were only small tv's and they will be alright as monitors I suppose. Then again they will probably end up in the attic.
I would not bother taking any TV sets unless you can find a way of getting them to work on PT network or via fibre or satellite.
The removal company we used was Algarve removals and we was very happy with their service. They did the duty and tax calculation and paperwork.If you want to ask more then please do so.
Once again very sorry for the delay in replying.
boa sorte
