Portugal uniquely combines security, low financing costs, and long-term investment potential, distinguishing it from other European markets.With mortgage rates ranging from 2.2% to 2.7% and financing for non-residents up to 80% Loan to Value (LTV), Portugal provides exceptional conditions for both lifestyle and investment purposes.
FINANCING FOR NON-RESIDENTS – LTV UP TO 80%
Non-resident investors can access mortgages with Loan-to-Value ratios of up to 80%, requiring only 20% as a down payment.
- Flexible repayment options allow alignment with lifestyle and investment goals.
- High LTV maximises borrowing power, enabling capital to remain invested in other assets.
Sublime Insight:
Maximising LTV strengthens borrowing power and increases capital efficiency for international buyers.
HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INTEREST RATES
Portugal offers mortgage rates between 2.2% and 2.7%, among the lowest in Europe.
- Both fixed and variable rate options are available.
- Low borrowing costs improve cash flow and long-term profitability.
- When combined with high LTV financing, these rates allow investors to finance property without liquidating higher-yielding assets.
Sublime Insight:
Low mortgage rates make it financially advantageous to maintain existing investments while acquiring property in Portugal.
MAINTAINING HIGHER-YIELD INVESTMENTS
Investors often hold portfolios in funds, pensions, or equities that deliver annual returns of 7–10%. Selling these assets to fund property purchases is usually unnecessary in Portugal due to low mortgage rates.
- Keeping high-yield investments allows compounding and maximises long-term profit.
- Financing property at 2.2–2.7% is cheaper than the potential returns from these assets.
- Strategic allocation balances property acquisition with continued growth of existing portfolios.
Sublime Insight:
Maintaining investments until maturity while financing property in Portugal maximises overall wealth creation.
RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES – SHORT AND LONG TERM
Portugal’s property market offers strong rental yields:
- Short-term rentals provide high income in tourist-heavy locations.
- Long-term rentals ensure stable, predictable returns.
- Long-term rental arrangements benefit from attractive fiscal incentives, notably reduced tax rates on property-derived income.
- Investors can optimise rental strategy to complement their broader portfolio.
