Our Long-Term Rental Service
Portugal continues to offer an excellent quality of life and an enriching cultural experience for those who choose to call it home. However, there is a chronic shortage in the Portuguese rental market which makes the process very volatile and fast-moving. Foreigners have to cope with the additional difficulty that documents and laws are all in Portuguese. Expats looking for long-term rentals in Portugal will find themselves in a ‘landlord’s market. In response to the challenges posed by the housing market, the Portuguese government has implemented new rental laws in 2023 to enhance tenant rights and stability.
We from Pearls of Portugal work with an experienced team of local and native experts who guide our clients throughout the rental process and keep them well-informed. Preparing all the necessary elements for a rental is the most important stage of the process and is oftentimes decisive in securing the best opportunity for your long-term rental in Portugal. We adapt our service to your requirements and can also realize the rental process remotely for clients who can not come to Portugal.
