What drives the price
Why two homes close together can cost very different amounts
Central Sal Rei and Estrela do Mar have the most affordable prices. Praia de Cabral and Estoril, near the finest beaches, cost more per square metre.
This is the biggest factor: for the same size, a home with a sea view costs noticeably more. You can see it in the table above.
Penthouses and flats with a large terrace are priced higher, but they are also the most popular for holiday lets.
A pool, reception, garden and good upkeep push the price up, but also the service charges: always ask to see the accounts.
New and off-plan homes cost more but are paid in instalments; resale homes are easier to negotiate. Off-plan, always ask for a bank guarantee.
A furnished home already registered for holiday letting earns from day one: it is worth a few thousand euros more.
On top of the price
What you really spend, taxes included
On top of the price of the home come the buying costs: under the 2026 rules they are usually between 2.5% and 4% (1% ITI purchase tax, notary, registry, stamp duty and, if you choose one, a lawyer). On a home at the typical price of €150,000, that means roughly between €3,800 and €6,000.
Every year you then pay IPI, the property tax, at 0.1% of the value set by the local council, plus service charges and utility bills. All the details are on the Costs and taxes page.
And how much does it earn?
A well-located home let to tourists can cover its costs and give an income, but it depends on the area, the management and the season: the returns you read in listings are estimates, not guarantees.
If you want a secure income
At the The View apart-hotel, suites start at €90,000 and the return is guaranteed by contract and bank guarantee: 5% if you use the suite 4 weeks a year, 6% if you always leave it on the rental scheme, with no guests or cleaning to worry about.
