Guaranteed Rental – Visa Property Investment Portugal

Property for Golden Visa PortugalMany of our clients look to buy property for the golden visa in either Spain or Portugal with the sole intention of renting the property out. Foremost in most investors minds is the kind of return they can make and the ease to which the property can be rented on their behalf. Spain is difficult in terms of guaranteed rentals, you need to appoint a managing agent to find clients and manage the rental without any assurance of rate or occupation.

However we have found in Portugal a guaranteed rental product that is available on Portugal’s most prestigous golf resort. Located right on the beach investments on this resort range from €600,000 – €1,300,000. All offer a rental return of 4% per annum for 5 years. Importantly the prestige of this long established resort will underpin the rental for many years after that. The property and rental is managed entirely by the resort. Owners can use the property for 8 weeks a year. Ideal for two weeks vacation in order to maintain the golden visa.

After the first year the investor visa in Portugal can be renewed every two years provided the property investment is retained. After 6 years the owner can apply for citizenship.

Investment and Rental for the Golden Visa in Portugal

A lot of our clients ask about guaranteed rental on investments when they are seeking the golden visa either in Portugal or Spain. Most importantly anyone looking to gain residency needs to consider the rules of each country’s scheme for minimum stay in order to retain the visa. If the property is rented full time this creates the issue of somewhere to stay when spending the minimum period of two weeks a year in Portugal. Rather than invest in a property to rent full time on a long lease, investors can look at resort properties in Portugal. These are property investments the same as any other to qualify for the investor visa in Portugal. But on a resort you have a steady supply of holidaymakers looking to rent for one week or two weeks. Sometimes a few months. By picking the right resort with facilities for example golf and beach attractive to holidaymakers this is perfectly possible. But then it’s also important to select a resort that can manage the rental and allow you to use your property for periods you plan in advance. We have several such options in Portugal. Please contact us for details.
