TWO DIFFERENT STARTING POINTS

One clear route to buying in Portugal.

Your residence status changes how a bank assesses the case. We start with your reality, not a generic simulation.

01

ALREADY LIVING IN PORTUGAL

For foreign residents

We assess income earned in Portugal or abroad, existing commitments, deposit and property purpose before approaching the banks.

  • First home or next home
  • Employed or self-employed
  • Pre-approval before property visits
02

BUYING FROM ABROAD

For non-residents

We help organise foreign income evidence, liabilities and purchase details, then identify banks whose criteria fit your profile.

  • Holiday home or investment
  • Foreign income and documents
  • Remote support in English

COMMON QUESTIONS

What foreign buyers usually ask first.

Can a non-resident obtain a mortgage in Portugal?

Portuguese banks do consider non-resident applications. The available amount and conditions depend on residence, income, liabilities, deposit, property and the bank's criteria.

How much deposit will I need?

It varies according to residence status, profile, bank and property. We calculate the financing and the additional purchase costs before you commit to a budget.

Which documents are normally required?

Typically identification, proof of address, income evidence, tax returns, bank statements, liabilities and property information. We provide a checklist adapted to your country and employment status.

Do I need to be in Portugal?

The initial assessment and much of the process can be completed remotely in English. We coordinate the next steps according to your purchase and travel plans.

How much does your service cost?

Our credit intermediation service is free to the client. Any bank commission or incentive applicable to our activity is disclosed as required before the credit agreement.
