About Claire Wheatley

Claire Wheatley | Algarve Property Specialist Claire Wheatley is an experienced property professional based in the Algarve, helping buyers and sellers navigate the Portuguese real estate market with clarity and confidence. Originally from the UK, Claire made the move to Portugal several years ago and now calls the Algarve home, where she has built both her life and her business. Having personally relocated and raised her family here, she understands that buying or selling property in Portugal is more than a transaction, it’s a lifestyle decision. Her first-hand experience allows her to guide clients not only through the property process itself, but also through the practical realities of settling into life in the region. Claire is also the founder of www.movingcurrency.com, an international foreign exchange company that supports clients transferring funds overseas for property purchases. Through this work, she has assisted hundreds of international buyers in moving large sums securely and efficiently, giving her a deep understanding of cross-border transactions, exchange rate timing, and the financial considerations that often impact overseas purchases. Her expertise has even reached television audiences, having appeared on the Channel 4 series Sun, Sea and Selling Houses, a programme showcasing the realities of helping international clients buy property in Southern Europe. This experience reflects both her professionalism and her active role within the Algarve property market. Working within eXp Portugal, Claire combines local market knowledge with an international network of buyers and agents. She regularly works with clients from the UK, USA, and beyond who are searching for permanent homes, holiday properties, or investment opportunities in the Algarve. Whether relocating, investing, or selling in the Algarve, clients value Claire’s global perspective, local presence, and commitment to delivering a smooth and well-managed experience.
