Initial Review
Service: Purchase of their house
I moved to Cascais a year ago and was completely overwhelmed with the house buying process. Raquel Joao Branquinho Nunes Garcia from Lighthouse Consulting Lda was a lifesaver. She responded within minutes of my initial contact, and her responsiveness never waned. Raquel not only helped me save money by tweaking the contract, but she also made sure I wasn't at risk with any of the clauses—I felt completely safe in her hands. Over this past year, she's been invaluable, assisting me with more than just the house purchase. Having moved seven times and dealt with numerous lawyers before, I can say without a doubt that Raquel is the best; she truly goes beyond the call of duty. I trust her implicitly and have recommended her services to many others because of her exceptional work ethic and support.

Service: Accounting for a company
I recently worked with Leonel from Saudade Consulting for my company's accounting needs. Honestly, the experience was really good. Leonel was professional and knew exactly what he was doing. He kept everything straightforward and explained the financial details in a way I could understand, which I appreciated. The service was timely; he met all our deadlines without any hassle. There were no hidden fees or surprises when it came to cost, which was a relief. Overall, I'd recommend his services to other businesses looking for reliable accounting support.

Service: Marriage registration and family reunification
I went through the marriage registration and family reunification process for the first time, and everything flowed smoothly. Nufar handled all the paperwork and approvals with great patience, always available to answer my questions, and provided clear, detailed explanations. The whole process took just three months, which was much faster than I expected.

Service: Moving to Portugal and dealing with taxes, finances and immigration services
When we decided to move in January, I didn't know where to start with taxes and immigration. Daniela was incredible, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and on time as we sorted out NHR before the deadline. Her explanations were clear, and she was always friendly and approachable, making the process so much easier for someone like me who's new to it all.

Service: Provided immigration assistance for relocation, managed banking and school documentation
Trust is everything, especially when moving your entire life to a new country. I worked with Ilya and his team, and they were incredibly reliable throughout the process. They managed my family's immigration, banking, and even school documentation efficiently, always answering any questions and concerns. Yes, everything was more expensive than other options, but given the importance of the matter, it was worth it for the peace of mind and professionalism they provided.

Service: Provided visa and relocation advice through a video call
The relocation company provided excellent information during our video call. They offered us two visa options and guided us on how to proceed properly, which was invaluable given our unique circumstances. I'm really satisfied with the direction they gave us, and I would use their services again without hesitation if needed.

Service: Applying for NHR, getting a golden visa and relocating from London to Portugal
Collaborating with this company for my move from London to Portugal was a seamless experience. Victoria, my solicitor, handled everything from applying for my NHR to discussing the golden visa, and she was fantastic in guiding me. I’ve already recommended their services to friends due to the invaluable advice and support I received.

Service: Buying a house in Lisbon
Navigating the real estate market in Portugal felt overwhelming, but Avi has been a great help. Ever since we started working with him in August 2023, he's made sure we understood every step. Although the deal isn't complete yet, his guidance has been invaluable amid the slow bureaucracy here.

Service: Getting passports and driver's license
Ana Sofia has been incredibly helpful since we arrived in Portugal. She guided us through getting my passport and later my wife's, making the process seamless and stress-free. Now, she's assisting with my driver's license, and even in our plans to buy a house in Porto, she continues to be an invaluable resource.
