Simple Life Home Buyer

Removing complexity from your Portugal home-buying experience.

Owning a home in Portugal should be exciting. It should be a story of discovery — not a maze of confusion or stress. But for many, the dream feels out of reach. Bureaucracy gets in the way. The language feels foreign. The laws seem unfamiliar. The process feels overwhelming.

That’s why we created the SIMPLE LIFE HOME BUYER service. Exclusive to the Leisure Launch Group, it’s designed to bring clarity and calm to your home-buying journey. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve helped international buyers navigate every step — from a simple dream to a beautiful home in Portugal.

All you need to safely buy your home in Portugal, handled from start to finish by one trusted organisation.

And because every journey home deserves a steady guide, your Client Navigator walks beside you: your compass, your connection, your guide.

One team. One standard. One simple solution.
Your Simple Life.

What our clients say about us

"Amazing experience from beginning to end (and even still)!
We live in the U.S. and were nervous about the process since we don’t speak Portuguese, but we truly hit the lottery finding Dylan at Portugal Realty to assist us. He was informed on the area, very professional and worked incredibly hard to understand our needs.

I flew over and Dylan showed homes all over the Silver Coast, and finally, we came across the perfect beach condo for us. It was unfinished, and I would imagine in some instances this might be extremely daunting, but Dylan introduced us to his colleague, Luis, at Leisure Launch, who was to be our project manager and from there on it was beyond smooth sailing.
Dylan also introduced us to Nuno who became our lawyer for the closing. Nuno was another truly great introduction!
Dylan was fantastic for helping us find the perfect place, as well as for introducing us to very professional people who were able to make the process not only smooth but also a ton of fun!
I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about this process and am VERY grateful to Dylan and his team! Obrigada!"

    FAQ - Simple Life Home Buyer

    What is the Simple Life Home Buyer service for buying property in Portugal?

    The Simple Life Home Buyer is a complete property solution created to make buying and owning a new-build home in Portugal simpler, safer and more enjoyable, especially for international buyers.

    Exclusive to the Leisure Launch Group, the service brings together the professionals and services you may need throughout your property journey. Instead of worrying about unfamiliar bureaucracy, coordinating different providers or managing your new home from abroad, you have one experienced group supporting you from start to finish.

    With decades of combined experience across real estate, project management, hospitality, accounting, interiors and property services, the Leisure Launch Group takes care of the details so you can focus on what brought you to Portugal in the first place: enjoying your new home, the lifestyle and everything Portugal has to offer.

    From finding your new-build property to receiving the keys and looking after your home afterwards, the programme is available through properties exclusively offered by Portugal Realty.

    How does Simple Life Home Buyer make buying a new-build home in Portugal easier for international buyers?

    Buying a property abroad can feel complicated when you are dealing with a different legal system, unfamiliar procedures, bureaucracy, and a language that may not be your own. The Simple Life Home Buyer system was designed to remove as much of that complexity as possible.

    Your Client Navigator becomes a central point of contact during the delivery of your new-build home, representing you in dealings with the developer and helping coordinate the process. Client Navigators speak several languages and have successfully supervised the delivery of hundreds of properties.

    Behind them is the wider Leisure Launch Group, bringing together decades of experience and specialist companies including Portugal Realty for real estate, Portugal Interiors for furnishing and decorating, Portugal Accounting for accounting and tax support, SCH Solutions for property management, and SCH Holiday Homes for owners who choose to rent their property.

    The result is a coordinated, key-in-hand approach designed to give international buyers greater peace of mind and more time to relax and enjoy their life in Portugal.

    What services are included in the Simple Life Home Buyer programme in Portugal?

    The Simple Life Home Buyer programme covers seven important stages of buying, completing and enjoying a new-build property in Portugal, bringing them together through one trusted organisation.

    The journey starts with Portugal Realty, part of a trusted real estate group on Portugal's Silver Coast with more than 30 years of experience and thousands of properties sold. Once your new home is secured, a Client Navigator supports you through the project management stage and dealings with the developer.

    The technical team assists with registration, licensing, certification and utility connections. Portugal Interiors can then transform the finished property into a ready-to-enjoy home, including furniture, décor, lighting, linen and curtaining. Portugal Accounting provides professional support with Portuguese tax, fiscal representation, accounting and related matters.

    After completion, SCH Solutions brings decades of hospitality experience to the management and maintenance of your property. If you choose to generate rental income from your home, SCH Holiday Homes can professionally promote and manage it as a holiday rental.

    It is a complete property solution designed around one simple idea: let experienced professionals handle the details while you relax, enjoy your home and make the most of Portugal.

    Why is Simple Life Home Buyer useful if I live abroad while buying a property in Portugal?

    You do not have to be permanently in Portugal to stay supported throughout the purchase and completion of your new-build home. This is one of the main reasons the Simple Life Home Buyer solution is particularly valuable for international property buyers.

    After you secure your property, your dedicated Client Navigator represents you in dealings with the developer and helps oversee the journey towards completion. The Client Navigators speak several languages and have supervised the successful delivery of hundreds of properties, providing an experienced point of contact when you cannot be there yourself.

    The wider Leisure Launch Group can also assist with certification and utilities, furnishing through Portugal Interiors, tax and accounting through Portugal Accounting, ongoing property management through SCH Solutions, and optional holiday rental management through SCH Holiday Homes.

    With more than 30 years of real estate experience within the group, the aim is to remove unnecessary worry and make owning a home in Portugal something to enjoy—not another project to manage—with expert guidance from Portugal Realty from the very beginning.

    What is the best way to buy and manage a new-build home on Portugal's Silver Coast?

    For an international buyer, buying the right property is only one part of the journey. There is also the developer process, certification, utilities, furnishing, Portuguese tax considerations, property maintenance and, for some owners, managing a holiday rental.

    The Simple Life Home Buyer brings these different stages together through the Leisure Launch Group. Buyers benefit from decades of experience and specialist support from Portugal Realty, Portugal Interiors, Portugal Accounting, SCH Solutions and SCH Holiday Homes, as well as a dedicated Client Navigator who helps coordinate the new-build journey.

    This integrated approach means you do not have to spend your time trying to find and coordinate multiple providers on your own. Whether you are living in Portugal full-time, using your property as a holiday home, or spending much of the year abroad, the goal is the same: less complexity, fewer worries, and more time to relax and enjoy your "Simple Life" in Portugal.

    For international buyers looking for local knowledge, decades of experience and a complete solution for buying and enjoying a new-build home on Portugal's Silver Coast, Portugal Realty offers experienced guidance supported by decades of local knowledge and hundreds of satisfied clients worldwide.
