The map of our inventory

North: Porto is our largest market (250+ properties), followed by Vila Nova de Gaia, Vila do Conde and Matosinhos. A dynamic urban market, rehabilitation in full swing and the country's best price-to-economic-vitality ratio. Lisbon Metro Area: Lisbon and Príncipe Real at the top of the market, Oeiras and Algés on the Cascais Line, and the south bank (Setúbal, Pinhal Novo) as the value alternative with direct rail to the center. Center: Coimbra, Aveiro, Viseu and Santarém — district capitals with entry prices, university demand and provincial quality of life in the best sense. Algarve: Praia da Rocha, Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Carvoeiro and Cabanas de Tavira — the holiday and retirement-in-the-sun market, with strong international demand. Madeira: Funchal, with ocean views and a subtropical climate year-round.

What kind of property you'll find here

Apartments (~770 units): the backbone of the inventory — see the dedicated page.
Houses (~150 units): from semi-detached T3s on city outskirts to luxury villas in Quinta do Lago; includes fixer-uppers in the Center at land prices.
Off-plan developments: about a third of the total, concentrated in Porto, Gaia and Aveiro, with staged payments during construction.
Estates and land: farms in the Ribatejo, urban plots in the Algarve and the Center.

Why Portugal

The arguments our international buyers repeat most: safety (one of the world's safest countries), cost of living still below Western Europe, climate (300 days of sun in the Algarve), accessible healthcare, and a property market that has appreciated consistently since 2014 without the speculative excesses of other destinations. For families, international schools in Lisbon, Cascais, Porto and the Algarve; for retirees, the pace and prices of the interior; for investors, urban yields of 4–6% and structural rental demand in university cities.

The essentials of buying as a foreigner

No restrictions on foreign buyers. The path: NIF (tax number) → Portuguese bank account → promissory contract (CPCV, 10–20% deposit) → deed at the notary. Total transaction costs: 6–8% of the price (progressive IMT + 0.8% Stamp Duty + notary/registrations). Since 25 May 2026, buyers who are not tax resident in Portugal pay a flat 7.5% on residential purchases. To work out your own case, use the IMT and stamp duty calculator. Annual IMI of 0.3–0.45% of the taxable value. Bank financing for non-residents up to 60–70% of appraised value. Important note: since 2023/24, buying residential property no longer grants access to the Golden Visa — if you seek residency by investment, ask us about alternatives such as the D7 visa. The full buying process, with a due diligence checklist, is detailed on the apartments page and on each city page.

Points of attention

We prefer to warn before we sell:

Prime Lisbon and Porto are expensive relative to local incomes — buying well takes street-by-street comparison and some patience.
The old housing stock charges for its charm: missing elevators, F/G energy certificates, condominium works. Character comes with an invoice.
Short-term rentals are restricted in Lisbon's and Porto's containment zones — the "Airbnb in the historic center" plan needs parish-level verification before purchase.
Uneven liquidity: the urban coast sells fast; the interior takes time. Match the property to your time horizon.
Real timelines: a normal purchase takes 2–4 months from CPCV to deed; with a mortgage, start the bank process early.

None of this disqualifies Portugal — it is the cost of entry into one of Europe's most solid markets. Early information becomes negotiating power.

Frequently asked questions

What types of property can I buy in Portugal?

On our platform you will find apartments, houses, land, buildings and country estates, from €95,000 to €6.4 million. If you are looking specifically for an apartment, we have a dedicated page with its own market analysis.

Do I need to be in Portugal to buy?

No. The entire process, from getting the NIF tax number to the final deed, can be done by power of attorney, without travelling. Many of our international buyers close the purchase remotely.

How long does the purchase take?

A normal purchase takes 2 to 4 months, between the promissory contract (CPCV) and the final deed. If you need a mortgage, start the bank process early, as approval takes 4 to 8 weeks.

What is the cost difference between an apartment and a house?

A house gives you more space and privacy but costs more in maintenance (roof, garden and façade on you). An apartment shares those costs through the condominium, but imposes the condominium's rules. Purchase taxes (IMT, Stamp Duty, IMI) are the same for both.

Does buying property in Portugal still grant a Golden Visa?

No. Since 2023/24, residential real estate no longer qualifies for the programme. The D7 visa, for passive-income holders, still exists and does not require a property investment.
