How to safely invest in real estate in Portugal

Portugal has long been a popular destination for real estate investors; there is something to offer everyone, thanks to its favorable climate and beautiful scenery.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind before investing in Portugal’s real estate.

  • First of all, Portugal is a relatively small country, which means that there is limited land available for development. This can drive up prices, so it’s important to research and ensure you’re getting a good deal on your investment property. Our company operates in regions where property is considered cheap and areas in Lisbon where it is expensive, so we can help you decide.
  • Second, Portugal is part of the European Union, meaning certain regulations apply to real estate transactions. Make sure you’re familiar with these regulations before proceeding with any purchase. Lawyers in Portugal are all fluent in EU law and are very used to dealing with foreign buyers.
  • Finally, Portugal is located on the Atlantic Ocean; it has a South coast known as the Algarve and a West Coast, known as the Silver Coast. On the one hand, the mild climate and beautiful beaches make it a popular tourist destination. If you want to surf, you need the West Coast of Portugal, known as the Silver Coast. If you want still, calm water that is warmer, then the sheltered bays of the Algarve are great for kids and water sports. 

Before investing in real estate, be sure to consider the risks associated with both the location and the type of property you’re interested in. We are not restricted to areas, so we are happy to give independent advice on places that suit your needs.

With these things in mind, Portugal wins many awards for being the best place in Europe to retire year after year, whilst Lisbon is known as the coolest capital in Europe with the most investment potential.
