Portugal
Property for sale in Portugal is no longer concentrated in the Algarve. Prices run from around €20,000 (£17,000) to over €1m, with more than 1,000 homes under €100,000.
The Algarve still holds most of the stock, while the Porto district and Madeira return more for the same budget. Use the filters to narrow by region, price and property type.
Why buy property in Portugal
Portugal is no longer concentrated in the Algarve, and that is where the value has moved. Prices run from around €20,000 to over €1m, with more than 1,000 homes under €100,000. The Algarve stays busiest, but the Silver Coast, the Porto district, Madeira and the Azores all return more house for the same budget. Madeira and the Azores work for year-round living rather than a summer-only home. Buyer costs centre on IMT transfer tax, charged on a sliding scale, plus stamp duty at 0.8% of the IMT value.

How many properties have a pool in Portugal?
Can foreigners buy property in Portugal?
Yes—foreigners can buy property in Portugal with no general requirement to be a resident.
The practical “must-haves” are getting a Portuguese tax number (NIF), using an independent lawyer for due diligence, and completing the purchase through the formal deed/registration steps so ownership is properly recorded.
Many overseas buyers also open a Portuguese bank account early to simplify deposits, tax payments, and completion funds.
For further information on how to buy a property in Portugal as a foreigner download our Portugal Buying Guide.
What is the buying process in Portugal?
A typical Portugal purchase goes:
(1) agree terms,
(2) lawyer checks title/charges and key documents (e.g., property registry extracts),
(3) sign the promissory contract (CPCV) and pay a deposit,
(4) arrange finance and final checks,
(5) sign the final deed (commonly referred to as the escritura or equivalent formalised deed) and transfer funds,
(6) register ownership so your rights are protected. The CPCV is important because it’s usually the point where commitments become much harder to unwind.
In most cases an estate agent will assist with this process. We strongly recommend appointing an independent lawyer if you are considering a property purchase or investment in Portugal.
