Speak with us about Portugal
Why Portugal
Portugal offers something increasingly rare in Europe: a coastline, a capital and a culture that still feel human in scale. Buyers arrive for the light and the pace, and stay for the schools, the safety and the food.
- One of Europe's safest countries, with a mild Atlantic climate year-round.
- Deep architectural stock: eighteenth-century buildings restored to contemporary standards.
- A growing international community across Lisbon, Cascais and the Algarve.
- Euro-denominated assets that diversify dollar and peso exposure.
Lifestyle
Markets in the morning, the Atlantic in the afternoon, a long dinner at a tiled tasca or a Michelin table. Portugal blends heritage and modernity without effort: surf schools beside monasteries, design hotels inside palaces.
Investment
We concentrate on restored historic apartments in prime Lisbon parishes, coastal houses in Cascais and Comporta, and Algarve properties with strong seasonal rental performance. Legal and tax structuring is coordinated with independent Portuguese advisors.
Regions
Lisbon
Príncipe Real, Chiado and Estrela: restored buildings, city views.
Cascais

Comporta
Rice fields, pine forest and the country's most discreet beach houses.

Golf, marinas and Europe's most reliable winter sun.
Porto
The Douro, a design-led food scene and better value per square metre.

International Buyer Considerations
What we walk through with clients before an offer. None of it replaces qualified local legal, tax or immigration advice, which we always recommend you take in the jurisdiction itself.
- Portugal places no nationality restriction on buying property, and the transaction runs through a notary with a Portuguese tax number (NIF) obtained beforehand.
- Transfer tax (IMT), stamp duty and notary costs are meaningful and should be modelled into the total acquisition figure from the outset.
- Restoration projects need a licensing view before purchase: what the municipality permits, what the building's structure allows and what a realistic works programme costs.
- Residency and tax regimes for foreign buyers change, so any relocation plan should be confirmed with a current Portuguese lawyer and tax adviser rather than with older commentary.

View PropertyFrequently Asked Questions
- Can foreigners buy property in Portugal?
- Yes. There is no restriction on foreign ownership, including for buyers outside the EU. You will need a Portuguese tax number, a local bank relationship in most cases, and independent legal representation for the notarial deed.
- What are the main purchase costs?
- Beyond the price, expect transfer tax (IMT) on a sliding scale, stamp duty, notary and registration fees, and legal fees. Your lawyer should provide a full written breakdown for the specific price band before you commit.
- Does buying property give residency?
- Purchase alone does not confer residency. Portugal's residency and tax programmes have changed repeatedly in recent years, so eligibility should be confirmed with a qualified Portuguese immigration and tax professional at the time you apply.
- Where do international buyers usually look?
- Lisbon for city life and restored historic stock, Cascais for coastal family living close to the capital, Comporta for quiet architectural retreats, the Algarve for golf and beach with liquid resale, Porto for value and a smaller-scale city.
- Is a restoration project worth it?
- Sometimes — restored quality is scarce and commands a premium — but only with a licensing opinion, a costed works programme and a contractor who has finished comparable buildings. We are candid when a finished apartment is the better answer.
