Why choose Portugal to invest in Real Estate?
Real Estate Market
“When Spain and Portugal emerge from recession, we believe that they could become a target for a new wave of Latin American investment.”
Knight Frank
“As we move into a more normalized global economy, property investors will be looking for development opportunities beyond the big international gateway cities.”
Knight Frank
“The house price boom that swept through most of Europe and the developed world from the mid-1990s to 2006 missed Portugal.”
globalpropertyguide.com
“At present, the market in Portugal offers favorable conditions for first-time investors with a long-term strategy.”
