PORTUGAL

Searching for the holiday property in Lisbon formed part of a broader strategy to secure residency through Portugal’s Golden Visa programme, which at the time permitted qualifying property purchases from €500,000. The flat formed part of a unique, exclusive new-build development and was acquired at approximately £500,000. The process involved fiscal representation, IMT transfer tax, stamp duty, and notarial completion. The apartment itself was exceptional: impeccably designed, beautifully finished, and perfectly positioned, combining lifestyle appeal with long-term residency flexibility in Portugal.
