As of May 2013, Portugal has been listed by the
OECD as one of the leading countries in the world in
terms of real estate acquisition and maintenance.
According to the OECD, Portuguese real estate has
been grossly undervalued, and the ratio betweenrental rates and purchase price positions Portugal as
undoubtedly one of the most attractive real estate
markets in Europe.
The number of foreigners who seeking to invest in
Portugal has grown immensely in recent years, many
opting to invest under the umbrella of the Portuguese
Golden Visa.
Real estate and cost of living prices in Portugal are
still relatively low compared with other European
destinations, so further growth is anticipated.
A taxation system that is particularly friendly towards
retired individuals and former hi-tech workers, makes
seekers of investment or of relocation prefer
Portugal.
