General Information
Investment Potential
Portugal's Silver Coast was chosen as the 3rd best location in Europe for property investment by Channel 4’s A Place in the Sun programme in 2006, with an expected return over 10 years of 360%. In spite of the recent downturn property prices have not been affected in the same way as in other countries and this longer term trend is expected to hold.
Stage Payments
Finished Properties
On signing the sale and purchase promissory agreement (exchange) 15% of the value of the property is required. The balance is then due on completion.
Off-Plan Properties
The initial down payment of 15% is also required for off-plan properties and prior to construction starting a further 15% down payment will be required. The remaining 70% is then due on completion. This means that if you buy off-plan now, most of the value of your property will not suffer as a result of poor exchange rates.
