Stay up to date with fresh content covering everything from real estate and visas to lifestyle and local culture in Portugal.
It’s not without good reason that lofts have become a preference of many property owners, especially after the mid-20th century. Cities like New York and Boston are probably the most iconic examples of cities where this type of real estate was taken to another level, but they are not the only ones to turn the wide-open spaces into amazing homes, beautiful offices and inspiring ateliers. Here are some great lofts in Portugal, sourced directly from the Portugal Homes’ collection.Â
Thinking about moving from the United States to Portugal? Here at Portugal Homes, we provide turnkey solutions for expats – from visa consultancy to property purchase, and management. This has given us enough experience and local insights to be able to help you make a truly informed decision. From housing costs and information about the quality of the healthcare system to lifestyle-related topics, at the end of this article, you’ll have discovered which of these two countries offers a better future for you and your family.
A property should not be as big as it can. Rather, it’s far more important that it fits your needs without generating extra work and worries. Depending on the stage you’re at in your life, or according to your particular goals, a one-bedroom apartment may be the perfect way of achieving both comfort and practicality. In Lisbon, we have a special selection of properties that are bright, spacious, and charming, featuring one bedroom and countless possibilities.Â
Once again, the Portuguese real estate market has shown proven resilience with medium prices for housing keeping its appreciation and the number of family dwellings sales increasing. Here’s what this could mean for future buyers.Â
There’s a lot to consider when buying real estate. How many rooms do you need, what’s your preferred layout, and what location suits your needs? Sometimes, combining all these elements can be tricky and some compromises may be needed. However, if you want to have it all, buying a plot of land can be the perfect solution for you to have the customized property of your dreams. Portugal Homes has selected some opportunities, so you’ll know exactly where to start.
The original Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) programme, which offered tax advantages to individuals who had not previously been tax residents in Portugal in the preceding 5 years, is no longer available. However, a new programme for expats has been introduced, bringing tax reductions to a list of professionals who might find great career and savings opportunities in the country. Keep reading to see if your occupation is eligible under the new rules. Â Â
With property prices showing a persistent rise in many EU countries, governments are constantly implementing new measures to try and contain this upward trajectory, most of which are targeted at international buyers. What will happen next is still unclear, but with the housing crisis topic constantly being brought up by the representatives of many nations, a clear trend is being formed. Here’s all you have to know about how to be safe in case any new measures aimed at restricting foreign investment in EU’s real estate market come along.
Buying a property to live in Portugal is a no-brainer. But reality shows that international buyers also find it extremely interesting to invest in the country’s real estate market. Whether to resell with a healthy margin or rent for a steady and immediate profit, in this article, we will show you why a property in Portugal is still a great decision for non-habitual residents (also known as NHR).
Over the last quarter of 2024, Portugal’s rental market has experienced a remarkable surge, with prices increasing by a medium of over 10% for new leases. This upward trend points to a robust and growing demand for housing and is proof of a great momentum, that makes a real estate investment in Portugal an attractive and time sensitive opportunity.
As we leave winter behind, it’s time to start planning for the warmer months. Spending a long and deserved season in the Algarve is a great way to enjoy life to the fullest. But with rental prices on the rise, purchasing a property in the region stands out as a wise choice that is still up for grabs.
