More than 27 million tourists visit Portugal annually, supporting demand for short-term rentals. A growing business sector (tech, startups, finance) creates additional demand for rentals and increases the liquidity of properties.

Buying real estate in Portugal remains profitable, offering appreciation, long-term liquidity, and rental income.

We remove doubts and answer frequently asked questions
The investor pays IMT (transfer tax), stamp duty, and an annual IMI (property tax). The IMT rate depends on the property type and the buyer's status (resident/non-resident), so the calculation is always individual.
No. Portugal does not restrict the right of foreigners to own, rent, or sell real estate. Registering a property transaction requires only a NIF (Portuguese Tax Identification Number).
It depends on the region: Lisbon and Cascais are more expensive, while Braga, Porto, and the south of the country offer more affordable options. The range is significant, so budgeting is determined individually.
In addition to the IMI, investors pay utilities, management company fees, and insurance. New buildings have lower costs due to energy efficiency, but some condominiums may have higher fees due to their developed infrastructure.
It depends on the location, rental type (short-term or long-term), and tenant profile. The market is generally stable, but there are seasonal factors and regional differences that are important to consider when forecasting.
The Golden Visa program is no longer available through home purchase, but other options are available: investing in a business, funds, or owning a residence permit. Availability of tax regimes depends on residency status and current legislation.
The main risks are potential delays, changes in construction costs, and project stage rescheduling. These risks are minimized by choosing a developer with a transparent financial structure and a proven track record of completed projects.
Liquidity depends on the city, region, property type, and market conditions. In sought-after locations, demand is stable, but in less developed regions, sales periods can be significantly longer.
The standard includes verification of the construction license, registration data, land plot status, the absence of outstanding debts, and the accuracy of permitting documentation. The buyer's attorney oversees all stages.
What are the tax considerations when renting? Non-residents pay a flat rental tax rate based on net income. Additionally, income must be declared in the country of residence if required by double taxation rules.
Foreigners have access to mortgages, but the terms may differ from those for residents: lower financing rates and stricter income verification. The bank's decision depends on the investor's income stability and credit history.
