Carefully selected modern properties in prime locations on Portugal's Silver Coast

Foreign citizens can buy property in Portugal with the same rights as Portuguese residents. There are no restrictions on international buyers purchasing homes, land, or investment properties. For buyers purchasing from abroad, professional guidance is crucial. Portugal Realty specialises in assisting international buyers and helps clients navigate the Portuguese property market safely and efficiently.

Portugal is considered one of the most attractive property markets in Europe due to its safety, quality of life, stable property market, and international appeal. Many buyers choose Portugal for relocation, holiday homes, or investment. Portugal Realty helps international buyers understand the Portuguese market and identify properties that match their lifestyle and investment goals.

The process for buying property in Portugal normally involves choosing a property, signing a promissory contract (CPCV), paying a deposit, and completing the purchase with the final deed (Escritura) before a notary. For international buyers unfamiliar with the local system, professional guidance is very important. Portugal Realty supports international homebuyers through the entire purchase process and has an in-house team of property specialists that coordinates with lawyers, banks, and notaries.

Although not always legally required, having a Portuguese bank account is highly recommended because property payments, taxes, and utilities are usually managed locally. Portugal Realty assists international buyers by connecting them with banks experienced in working with foreign clients.

Portuguese banks offer mortgages to non-resident buyers, typically financing 60% to 70% of the property value depending on the buyer’s financial profile. Portugal Realty connects clients to banks that specialise in financing solutions for international property buyers.
