A limited edition collection of ultra-stylish
residences representing a new level in luxury
and prestige
T
he growing popularity of Portugal real estate comes as no
surprise to anyone, since foreigners are enjoying the highly
advantageous tax status of the Non-Habitual Resident program. It
provides beneficial tax treatment for the first ten years of residence
and is open to those still working, as well as retirees. Professional
income is taxed at 20% and foreign source income (including
rental and investment income and capital gains) may be tax
exempt, in exchange for staying 183 days per year in this sunshinedrenched country.
Portugal’s vivacious capital, Lisbon, consistently ranks amongst
the world’s best cities in terms of quality of life. Yet it is often
overlooked in favour of its flashier Spanish counterpart, Barcelona.
In fact, Lisbon is more understated and, some would argue, more
authentic than many other major European cities.
A city with a nostalgic charm, Lisbon is very much alive and
thriving, with shopping, nightlife and plenty of cultural events to
keep anyone occupied and amused. Meanwhile, its relative status
as undiscovered means that real estate prices remain amongst the
most affordable in Western Europe.
