You would not expect to be able to buy some land in the UK and just bung up a house and therefore that applies in Portugal Spain etc .The local councils have policies and plans in place as to where you can or cannot build and the type of building you can put up so you really need to have someone to hold your hand - and follow advice on here

And do not under estimate the Visa situation If you get the application right from the start and do everything required of you when you get to Portugal life will be easier (compared to doing it the other way)
