What Foreign Buyers Actually Owe on Portuguese Property
A practical breakdown of IMT, IMI, AIMI and stamp duty for foreign buyers in Portugal, with the 2026 baseline rules and what to verify before a 2027 purchase.
Property guides & news
Portugal's property market stretches well beyond Lisbon and the Algarve, with different prices, housing types, climates, and levels of year-round demand across the country. These articles help international buyers understand those contrasts and search with more precise expectations.
Find practical introductions to Portuguese portals, purchase steps, common costs, location choices, and the questions to ask before making an offer. The guides provide research context rather than personal legal or financial advice, so current rules and transaction details should be checked with licensed local professionals. They also separate national trends from local conditions, which can differ substantially between a high-demand coast, a city neighbourhood, and an inland municipality.
