WHY BUY A PROPERTY IN PORTUGAL?

Portugal attracts international buyers and investors for its quality of life, its climate, its safety and a property market that remains competitive compared with other Western European countries. From the metropolises of Porto and Lisbon to the coastline of the Algarve and the Silver Coast, each region matches a different project: main residence, holiday home, retirement or rental investment.

Buying is open to foreigners, residents and non-residents alike, within a clear legal framework. A Portuguese tax number (NIF) is required, and the support of a local professional secures every step, from the search to the signing at the notary. Tagus Property supports you everywhere in Portugal, in English.

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreigner buy property in Portugal?

Yes. Buying property in Portugal is open to foreigners, whether residents or non-residents, within the same legal framework as for nationals. The buyer must in particular hold a NIF (Portuguese tax number). Tagus Property supports international buyers, in English, from the search all the way to the signing at the notary.

Do I need a NIF to buy in Portugal?

Yes. The NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) is essential to buy a property and to meet the tax obligations linked to the purchase. It can be obtained by a foreign national, resident or not, and is generally requested at the start of the buying project.

Which regions does Tagus Property cover in Portugal?

Tagus Property covers Porto, Lisbon and its region, the Silver Coast, the Setúbal Peninsula, the Algarve, as well as the islands of Madeira and the Azores, with English-speaking teams and property hunters based locally.

What costs should I budget for on top of the purchase price in Portugal?

Beyond the price of the property, you should budget for the taxes linked to the purchase (the IMT transfer tax and stamp duty), notary and registration fees, and possibly financing costs. Worth noting: in Portugal, the buyer does not pay agency fees, which are paid by the seller.

Are there tax benefits for new residents in Portugal?

Buying a property does not, on its own, grant any tax benefit. Some new residents may, however, qualify for the IFICI regime (Tax Incentive for Scientific Research and Innovation), reserved for certain eligible activities and professions, subject to conditions and for a limited period. An analysis by a tax specialist is essential.
