in Portugal

"Leasing is the contract by which one of the parties undertakes to provide the other with the temporary enjoyment of a thing, for a consideration" - Art. 1022 of the Civil Code

Renting a property in Portugal is becoming more and more common nowadays and is an advantageous option for those who:

• Have to move house or location frequently
• Don't want to spend a lot on bank loans
• Don't want to make a large investment

To decide whether to rent or buy a house, we suggest that you make a weighted calculation of your investment, based on the following formula: if the price of the house is 22 times less than the rents you would pay in a year, then choose to buy (rent x 12 x 22).

With all the costs of documents and registrations, deeds and taxes, real estate, insurance and interest, the property has to increase in value by 15% in order to recoup the investment. We therefore recommend that you only invest in buying a property if you intend to stay in it for three years (ideally five).

On the other hand, if you have an 'unused' property and want to monetise it, renting it out (temporarily or annually) could be an advantageous option. If this is your wish, VAP Real Estate is fully available to help you promote your property and consequently rent it out, through our services and tools for promotion, marketing and publicity.

To do this, you'll need to have an up-to-date licence and energy certificate. VAP Real Estate will be responsible for all other work (photographic coverage, visiting the property, drawing up the lease, etc.).
