A1 ALGARVE PROPERTY BUY & SELL

Welcome back to our A1 ALGARVE REAL ESTATE podcast. I have realised that still many foreigners who are home owners are not aware that they can pay the local property tax from their home country. Over the last years it was only possible to pay personally at the Finanças or by Multi Banco using the payment details supplied by the financial authorities. Gladly, this was finally changed. There are two ways. How they work, we will cover in todays program. I’m here if you have any questions about buying or selling and make your decision an informed one. And I look forward to working for you and with you and I am wishing you guys getting your dream home. For all mentioned addresses and bank details, feel free to liaise with me!

Welcome back to our A1 ALGARVE REAL ESTATE podcast. Great to have you back on my program which continues to catch up with every-day questions regarding the real estate market in the Algarve. So let's go back to what happened just now: investing in property to get your money invested in a safe place away from the turmoils of central Europe. Since it is difficult to find good properties on the Algarve market for reasonable prices anymore, there is an option to invest off-plan. What does that mean exactly? As far as what pre-construction real estate is, there are a few interpretations. Please feel free to contact me for further questions. I'll be happy to help. ak@a1-algarve.com or WhatsApp (+351) 910 660 900 https://lnkd.in/dXvxQX7 Let us make you feel at Home - A1 Algarve Real Estate #a1algarve #algarveproperties #quintadolagoproperties #valedoloboproperties #algarvecountrysideproperties #realestateinvestment #a1algarverealestate Follow our blog: https://lnkd.in/exige8h

Hi everyone at Agnieszka of A1 ALGARVE REAL ESTATE coming to you today about a hot topic on a hot market it is beginning March 2022 and consistently for the last several months if not may be more than a year we’ve been in what could be described as a very hot market and what that means is it’s a sellers market and often times when you put an offer in on a home it’s going into multiples . It has been a while since our last podcast program! We had to take a break because of the amazing amount of BUYERS coming our way to invest their cash money. We have been showing properties almost 24/7 while our virtual inquiries calmed down. Anyway, great to have you back on my program which continues to catch up with every-day questions regarding the real estate market in the Algarve. So let's go back to what happened just now: investing in property to get your money invested in a safe place away from the turmoils of central Europe. Here in the Algarve we have been in a seller's market for some time now. This seller's market is driven by low inventory, low mortgage rates and plenty of cash buyers who intend to invest in a safe place further away from the turmoils of the central Europe. The last few homes we sold went into multiple offers and you may be surprised on why the seller choose one buyer over the next.....*hint* it's not always price! The feedback I’m hearing from my buyer clients is that this is incredibly stressful and often times heartbreaking and I totally get that. I wanted to just have some quick tops today about what we can do to win a multiple offer. Questions?

Today's topic is whether it is a good idea to buy, own and sell a property in one’s own name or via a corporate entity . So when buying a property in our area of the Algarve, should you continue to think about buying a high end property that is in Corporate Ownership? The fact that so many high value properties are in corporate ownership is not a coincidence.There are pros and cons for both which should be taken into consideration. And we are having today a guest who is specialised in this topic. So I'm very happy to introduce Eurico Alves, lawyer and named partner at NFEA - Law Firm in Almancil.

The difference between buying a house in Portugal being a resident or not depends on the purpose of the house. If you buy a house to live in Portugal, you are buying a permanent home and are a resident, but if you do not live in Portugal and you buy property there it will count as a second home. This affects the property taxes you’ll have to pay. Let's have a look at what taxes exist in Portugal when buying a property, whether as a first residence or a second house. After all, buying a property is one of the most important moments in most people’s lives, not only because it's a long-term financial decision, but also because it always raises some doubts about the expenses and taxes you have to pay. Here we try to answer all the questions you may have about what taxes to pay when you buy Portuguese property. And we are having to day a really exciting guest who is specialised in this topic. So I'm very happy to introduce Dra. Andrea Viegas, solicitor and owner of a law firm in Quinta Shopping in the central Algarve.

First up, we’ve got Gary. He lives in Southampton and he’s got £500,000 to invest. He’s looking to invest his cash in the Algarve and his strategy is to generate an income. Obviously being in the UK, viewing properties is a little tricky for Gary, so he has no idea what kind of property he should be investing in or where he should ideally be looking to generate that income. Essentially, he’s asking me, if I had half a million quid to invest in the Algarve, where and what would I buy? Tune in to find out. Next we have Lilian from Essex. She and her partner are looking to invest and are in the process of releasing some equity from their residential property in the UK. They are looking at buy-to-let properties in either Carvoeiro or Albufeira area, but Lilian wants to know my thoughts on Airbnb in general. She’s not run the numbers on it yet and before she wastes her time doing so, she’s wanting to know if it’s a good strategy to go with? Would the Airbnb strategy be a good solution for the Algarve? Hit the play button to find out. Do you have a buy to let or property investment related question for us? You could feature on the next episode by sending us an email to info@a1-algarve.com .
