Why Choose BRR Property Sourcing in Lisbon?
Lisbon is an investor’s goldmine, with its steady rental demand, historic charm, and government-backed incentives for property rehabilitation. Our services are laser-focused on helping you achieve reliable results in this dynamic market.
High rental yields
Short-term rental hotspots like Baixa and Alfama can achieve returns of 10%-15% annually due to year-round tourist demand. Long-term rentals in Arroios and Alvalade provide stable yields of 8%-12%, making Lisbon appealing to diverse investors.
Urban rehabilitation incentives
Properties in ARU (Área de Reabilitação Urbana) zones are eligible for tax reductions, including lower IMT rates and VAT rebates on renovations. This allows for significant cost savings on refurbishments.
Growing demand
Lisbon has seen a 17% increase in its expat population, with districts like Parque das Nações and Campo de Ourique drawing professionals and families seeking long-term rental options.
These factors make Lisbon a lucrative city for BRR investments, and our expertise ensures that you take full advantage of its potential.
How Pearl Lemon Properties Handles BRR Property Sourcing in Lisbon
At Pearl Lemon Properties, we know the ins and outs of Lisbon’s property market. Each step of our process is designed to remove obstacles, reduce risks, and maximize profitability for your investment.
Finding High-Potential Properties
Lisbon’s competitive real estate market requires a deep understanding of local trends and access to exclusive opportunities.
We source properties in high-demand areas like Anjos, Mouraria, and Intendente, which combine affordability with strong rental potential. Leveraging our local connections, we secure deals on off-market properties—such as a one-bedroom unit in Arroios that we acquired for a client at 20% below market value. This strategic approach ensures every property aligns with your investment goals.
Strategic Refurbishment Management
The refurbishment stage is where true value is added, and we handle every detail to ensure success.
Regulatory Adherence
Lisbon’s building codes and licensing requirements can be complex, especially for older properties. We ensure all work meets local ARU standards, so you qualify for tax benefits and avoid delays.
Cost management
Our network of vetted contractors delivers quality work, with renovation costs averaging between €800 and €1,500 per sqm. For example, a T2 flat in Alfama was modified into a short-term rental-ready unit, all within budget and timeline.
Securing Tenants and Rental Licenses
After refurbishment, the property needs to generate consistent income, and we ensure it’s ready for renters.
From Alojamento Local (AL) licensing for short-term rentals in Bairro Alto to tenant acquisition for long-term leases in residential areas like Campo de Ourique, we handle all the necessary steps. This means your property is tenant-ready without unnecessary delays.
Addressing Lisbon’s Unique Challenges
Lisbon’s real estate landscape presents distinct challenges that require expertise and local knowledge. Our team is equipped to tackle these head-ons.
Legal and Tax Complexity
Lisbon has a web of laws, from varying IMT tax rates to zoning restrictions for rentals.
- Solution: We simplify the process, ensuring your investment complies with local laws. For example, we helped a client reduce their IMT liability by investing in an ARU-qualified property in Graça.
Market Competition
The popularity of Lisbon among investors has led to increased competition for prime properties.
- Solution: By sourcing off-market deals and using predictive analytics, we find opportunities others overlook, such as undervalued properties in upcoming districts like Marvila.
Refurbishment Risks
Renovation costs can spiral without careful planning, especially in Lisbon’s older buildings.
- Solution: We provide detailed refurbishment budgets and work only with contractors familiar with local architecture and building codes, ensuring no surprises.
