Features & Benefits
Portugal offers investors a long established market in a safe location providing investors with a secure market that continues to show good levels of capital growth potential, ideal for long term investments.
Buying property in Portugal for rental purposes provides investors with an established market in a location that continues to attract a steady tourist market, especially in areas with beach and golf appeal. With the Algarve in the south coast long established as a holiday and investment area, many people are now looking into the lesser developed Silver Coast for investment. The infrastructure is being improved in these areas as the investment market is set to further increase. Protection is being carried out to avoid over development in these areas to avoid the problems that have been seen in other areas of European resort locations, and also for environmental purposes.
As Portugal remains one of Europe’s leading holiday and retirement destination, coupled with the security of investments, the strong local economy and the political stability, people are continuing to look into Portugal for overseas property investment purposes.
The prices of property are sometimes also cheaper than neighbouring Spain and the luxury property market is receiving continuous high capital growth due to the limited supply. The expected growth of visitors to Portugal is expected to steadily increase over the coming years, along with the numbers of foreigners investing in property.
As a buy-to-let location, Portugal offers an extremely interesting option, within close proximity of the UK and with cheap flights, many visitors are arriving to Portugal for golfing and beach holidays, and golf courses are now a requirement in the development of large resorts. Immediate family are not charged inheritance tax on property, making investments in Portugal ideal for those wishing to receive finance on the property from the steady rental market, then retire to the property in later years and pass the property onto family members as an inheritance.
