2022: The Year of Rebounds

This past year has been reinvigorating for the real estate market in the Algarve. Property purchase transactions throughout Portugal reached a record breaking number, in the past 5 years, of 250,000 homes sold.

In Quinta do Lago and surrounding areas, this has definitely resonated, which again confirms and demonstrates the stability and reliability of the real estate sector.

As Portugal becomes the second country in the world, following the United Arab Emirates, with almost 90% of the population vaccinated against COVID-19, I trust we are on the right path to keep a healthy national and international economy, following two globally tough years.

With this global pandemic seeming to reach a controlled halt, the vaccine rollout for 2022 will be crucial, more importantly, for the hospitality sector in Portugal, which should see a pickup in foreign demand, as travel restrictions are updated and vaccination rates increase.

With international travel boarders safely opened, the demand for high-end luxury properties should maintain for the coming year. Alongside confidence in the market, a global shift for more accommodating homes located in city vicinities, with safety, health and life-enhancing facilities available, Quinta do Lago and the surrounding areas will prove to be a sure investment for the coming years.

MARKET UPDATE 2022

What to Expect for 2022

The world economy seems solid according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), predicting a record speed growth of 4.5% for 2022 (PWC, 2021). However, moving from “the great lock down to the great rebound” could globally, be tougher than it sounds.

The future of the real estate market will depend on the vaccine rollout of the first two quarters of 2022. Specifically in Northern European countries, that are expected to reach close to full vaccination in the second semester of 2022 (PWC, 2021). Mostly impacted by this rollout has been the hospitality sector in Portugal, which should see a pickup in foreign demand as travel restrictions are updated and vaccination rates increase.

With Portugal reaching a GDP of 4.8% in 2021 (a 4.2% growth from 2020), higher than forecasted, experts indicate a steady economic recovery path, reaching 5.6% GDP values for 2022. As indicated by the Portuguese Prime Minister, Antonio Costa, the national economy has shown an incredibly resilient comeback and has revealed all the “right ingredients” to keep growing.

PROPERTY TRENDS

Despite economic uncertainties, the property market in Portugal has shown throughout the years to be a resilient and stable investment. According to the National Institute of Statistics (INE) median property prices have been on the rise since 2020, at +6.8% this past year, a value more accentuated than other countries in the EU.

In the past 10 years, the price per square metre, in Portugal, has risen by 86%, from €1,432 in 2010 to €2,670 in 2020. Whilst this increase can be noted nationally, experts point to a similar increase of 70%, per square metre pricing in the Golden Triangle area.

British buyers have always been prominent property owners in the Golden Triangle and when the Brexit deal was proposed the Algarve real estate market was predicted to suffer. Undeterred by so, the nationalities which have most seeked luxury homes in the Algarve are British (55%), Irish (20%), German (10%), French (7%) and Other (6%).

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

“Location, location, location”. Never has this famous saying in real estate been so relevant. More than ever, property buyers are looking for locations in the vicinities of big cities or town centres, with an expansive outdoor space, large terraces, a home office, more bedrooms and bathrooms and overall communal, lifestyle enhancing amenities.

Properties in the luxury resort of Quinta do Lago and the surrounding areas, are indeed the answer to all of these and more requirements. This location provides expats and international buyers with the lifestyle they have always wished for.

Real estate experts point out, that the future of the Portuguese real estate market, will depend on the support given to extremely important sectors such as tourism and hospitality.

Correspondingly, the demand for high-end luxury properties should remain, provided the scarcity of product decreases. Perhaps a lower rate of sale in 2022 could be impacted by lack of properties, delays in project licensing in most municipalities, alongside considerable strain in obtaining credit for construction.

Investors Looking for the Golden Visa

In October 2012 the Portuguese Government introduced the Golden Visa scheme, a residency program which has since attracted more than €5.7 billion of direct foreign investment into Portugal.

With the aim of attracting High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) to the country, the Golden Visa offers a residency visa for up to 5 years, in exchange for a qualifying investment made in Portugal and is valid only for non-EU-EEA or Swiss citizens.

As of the beginning of 2021, UK passports lost their freedom of movement in the Schengen Area. Here are 3 great reasons why UK citizens could look at Portugal for residency; travel rights across Europe, a desirable lifestyle, and ultimately a European citizenship through investment.

As of January 2022, Golden Visa applicants must invest and apply using the one of the following routes:

Real Estate Acquisition - Purchase worth at least € 500,000, within the designated “lower density” areas; Fund Subscription - Capital transfer of at least € 350,000 in a qualifying investment fund; Capital Transfer - Capital transfer of at least € 1million to a Portuguese bank account; Company Setup - Invest € 1million in a Portuguese company together with creation of jobs.

CHANGES JAN 1ST 2022

Following amendments to the Portuguese 2021 State Budget, the Golden Visa scheme notes changes as of January 1st 2022, particularly for citizens looking to invest via a real estate acquisition.

The Golden Visa proved to be a successful accord for the real estate industry, especially in the capital, Lisbon and other cities such as Faro and Porto. As of beginning of 2022, foreign citizens looking to invest in real estate, in order to obtain legal residency, will be restricted to invest only in “lower density” rural areas.

This amendment to the visa scheme has been introduced so as to “boost” investment in cities within the interior of Portugal, which in the Algarve does not include the most sought after touristic parishes and will perhaps hinder real estate investment, via the scheme, in the area.

FUND INVESTMENT ROUTE

This could be the alternative for investors who wish to apply for the residency scheme however may not see a profitable return, in real estate, specifically in “lower density” rural areas. The investment fund route was introduced through an amendment in Portuguese Law in August 28th, 2017.

This route might not be the answer for all citizens, however for HNWIs, especially if experienced and knowledgeable investors, this application process could prove to be an interesting business venture. Alongside applicants needing to have experience in fund investments, there is also the need to supply proof and sufficient funds. Which until the end of 2021 requires a minimum investment of only €350,000, increasing to €500,000 in January 1, 2022.

The fund investment route sees great advantages. It presents low investment, security, tax-efficiency, portfolio diversification and more importantly, low fees and taxes, seeing as these do not require payment of Transfer Tax, Stamp Duty or Notary Costs, only applicable to real estate purchases.

Nonetheless the exit period is at a minimum of 5/6 years, depending on the fund you choose to work with, as well as perhaps, some lack of control on allocation of funds, performance and management fees.

A Blissful Retirement

According to the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce approximately 46,300 British nationals live in Portugal and take advantage of the year-round sunshine, lifestyle enhancing amenities, blissful azure like waters, safety and political stability.

Throughout the past 10 years a diverse array of nationalities have chosen the sweet paradise of Portugal, especially the Algarve, as the place to spend their golden years. French, German, Dutch, Belgian and Polish, follow the British citizens who have chosen to move to Portugal and also make the most of the International Accords.

In essence, Portugal and the Algarve are a brilliant option for a healthy, active retirement in the sunshine. With an extensive and active expats community, made of retirees and professionals, the Algarve has become a lively multicultural address. It is no wonder that worldwide known celebrities and various sports stars have chosen to call the Algarve a home.

The Algarve offers property prices for all types of budgets. Experts have estimated that an affordable monthly living cost, between €1,200 and €1,500, can provide a comfortable style of living in the Algarve. If you are looking for a slower pace to your life, this could be the move for you.

T

HE GOLDEN TRIANGLE

The Golden Triangle houses the luxury resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, together with the surrounding areas of Vilamoura and Almancil. This is a great area to find delicious restaurants, buzzing bars, an active population and easy access to any beach.

The Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo resorts are the priciest of choice, however these locations offer the most luxurious properties and facilities, perhaps in the whole of Portugal.

Vilamoura can be called affordable luxury, offering impeccable facilities with tennis, spas, water sports, golf and the infamous marina. Almancil is a great alternative if you have a shorter budget, are looking for something slightly inland, but still in reasonable driving distance to all the amazing local amenities.

WEST & EAST ALGARVE

Western and Eastern Algarve are ideal zones for those looking for a cheaper yet just as idyllic lifestyle. These are fantastic areas for expats who enjoy slightly unexplored inland and coastal living. For those who appreciate long hikes in nature, surfing, sailing and golfing, coupled with warm winter days, these are fantastic areas.

Going West towards Sagres and Lagos, currently apartments can be found starting at €400,000 and villas at €750,000. Filled with a natural beauty, traditional algarve living, made of rugged cliffs, numerous small parks and beautiful deserted beaches.

Further East towards Olhão and Tavira, property prices are similar and an extremely popular option with expats. Following the Ria Formosa for more than 60km of coastline, the fishing and port villages are filled with history of fortresses and castles.

EUROPEAN INTERNATIONAL ACCORDS

The Golden Visa Scheme

Ofering a fast and simple way for non-EU citizens to enjoy the many benefts of living and working in Portugal.

In 2012, the Golden Residence Permit, otherwise known as the Golden Visa was devised to attract money into the country by granting residency, in exchange for a variety of approved investments.

Investing in real estate in Portugal is a popular choice among Golden Visa applicants. This is partly because property prices in Portugal are lower that in many other European countries – providing investors with a greater opportunity for capital growth. In addition, the minimum investment required is set at a very affordable level.

Following amendments to the Portuguese 2021 State Budget, the Golden Visa scheme notes changes as of January 1st 2022, particularly for citizens looking to invest via a real estate acquisition. This amendment to the visa scheme has been introduced so as to “boost” investment in cities within the interior of Portugal, which in the Algarve does not include the most sought after touristic parishes.

Ofering a fast and simple way for non-EU citizens to enjoy the many benefts of living and working in Portugal.

Since its introduction, in 2009, many people moving to Portugal from other countries have been able to enjoy a 10 year long highly advantageous tax arrangement, under the Non-Habitual Residency Scheme.

A Non-Habitual Resident can benefit from a flat 20% income tax rate, if/when employed in Portugal, instead of the hefty 45%+. Nonetheless, an individual’s professional qualifications must fall within the specifications of the regime, further explained in the Portuguese Authorities Portal online.

If eligible for the NHR scheme, most of an individual’s income from a foreign source is tax exempt in Portugal for 10 consecutive years. This means that expatriates can maximize any rental income outside of Portugal, capital gains on foreign real estate, interest and dividends. Please

TAX ON FOREIGN PENSION

Until April 1st 2020, the scheme allowed for income from foreign pensions to be received tax-free in Portugal. Nonetheless the 2020 Portuguese Governmental Budget, introduced a new flat 10% tax rate on foreign pension income. All individuals that applied for the scheme prior to the 1st of April 2020, are still eligible for tax exemption on pension income.

Exceptions are applied to all foreign pension income on individuals who performed service professions, including local authority, army, police, teaching, fire service and national health service.

Benefts of the Non-Habitual Residency Scheme:

- All Portuguese employment income, considered as qualifed within the scheme is taxed at a fat rate of 20%;

- Almost all foreignly sourced income is tax exempt;

- Inheritance or gift tax are tax exempt on possessions outside of Portugal, given that these are transferred to spouse, descendants or ascendants. If transferred to other individuals these are taxed at a fat rate of 10%;

- Exemption from wealth tax, in Portugal or abroad as well as any tax on funds settlement;

- Dependant on the Double Taxation Treaties signed between Portugal and the respective country, owning a Portuguese company means the possibility to take advantage of EU rules and directives on mergers, dividends, interest and royalties;

- If an individual is interested in foreign investment, when owning a Portuguese company these can beneft from the participation exemption regime on dividend or capital gains obtained.

If an individual has not been a resident in Portugal in the previous 5 consecutive years, all nationalities (including non-EU/EEA citizens), can apply for the NHR scheme.

For eligibility an individual must meet the Portuguese Residency rules, alongside spending 182 days a year or having a main home in Portugal.

04 YOUR CUSTOMIZED BUYING PLAN

What To Expect: Taxes on Purchase

Which taxes do I have to take into account prior to buying a property in Portugal?

IMT

(PROPERTY TRANSACTION TAX)

Upon a financial transaction concluded regarding the purchase or sale of a property, IMT must be payed by the future property owner. IMT is a municipal real estate transaction tax, which occurs when there is an alteration to the property ownership. This tax varies according to the type (country or urban), location (mainland or autonomous) and purpose of the property (permanent or second home).

To calculate the IMT, the below formula can be used; applying both the relevant rate and portion to be deducted, that can be both consulted below, or on the Portuguese Tax Office Portal.

IMT = Deed Property Value * Tax Rate * Tax Deductions

TAX RATES 2021

Primary & Permanent Residence

Secondary Residence & Renting

STAMP DUTY, NOTARY & REGISTRATION

Stamp duty in Portugal is currently at a fixed rate of 0.8% on the agreed sales value. In regards to notary and registration fees, these can vary dependant on your preference, however should amount between € 1,000 to € 2,000. These values are to be payed by the purchaser prior to signing the notary deed and registration of transition into the new buyer’s name.

What To Expect: Taxes after Purchase

Which taxes do I have to take into account after buying a property in Portugal?

(MUNICIPAL PROPERTY TAX)

The Municipal Property Tax is an Annual fee apprised and updated by each municipality, dependant on property location. Urban properties are levied at a rate between 0.3% and 0.5%, whilst rustic properties have a rate of 0.8%. The appraisal value is registered by the Portuguese Tax Authorities and the overall total property tax value payments are done in instalments.

AIMI (ADDITIONAL MUNICIPAL TAX)

The Additional to Municipality Property Tax, was created in 2017, which compliments the current yearly property tax, but is indeed di erent to the IMI, which is to be payed separately, in a single instalment usually in September. AIMI is levied on the combined total value of the rateable value of properties, which is applicable on all urban residential property or land destined for construction. In regards to corporately owned properties a flat rate of 0.4% is applied, whereas for privately owned properties there are 3 di erent classifications of AIMI:

up to € 600,000

between € 600,000 and € 1,000,000

between € 1,000,000 and € 2,000,000

above € 2,000,000

CGT (CAPITAL GAINS TAX)

On the sale of property, in Portugal, there is Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to be payed at a rate of 28% for non fiscal residents and 25% on non-resident companies. Residents are taxed 50% CGT, which is then included in the individual’s annual income tax return. If the funds are reinvested for a permanent residence, within 3 years of the date of sale, anywhere in the EU/EEA area, CGT will not apply. To calculate your taxable gain, either formula below can be used:

A ) CGT = Value of Sale - (Acquisition Costs * Devaluation Coe cient) - Costs Incurred During Transfer of Ownership (IMT) - *Property Improvement Costs

*(property improvements that have been incurred within 12 years prior to sale)

B ) CGT = 1st Allocated Rateable Value by Tax O ce * Devaluation Coe cient

INHERITANCE TAX

Between close relatives there is no inheritance tax in Portugal, i.e. parents/ children and spouses although on gifts, 0.8% stamp duty is calculated based on the Property’s Rateable Value. Any other situations of inheritance or gift will be subject to stamp duty at a rate of 10.8% of the Property’s Rateable Value.

The Buying Process

Property Visits & Negotiation Process

ONE Select Properties team will always work with you in order to find the property that matches all your requests. Once the right property is found, your representing agent will act as a mediator in the negotiation process. After a mutual value is agreed, a proposal is outlined by the vendor’s representative. As price and timing is agreed upon, both parties will usually appoint a local lawyer and formal property documentation will be sent to the buyer, in order for the representing lawyer to perform due diligence and prepare the buying contract.

PRIVATE OWNERSHIP

1. Signing of Promissory Contract

When looking to purchase property in Portugal the buyer will have to acquire a Portuguese Tax Number, which can be done with the aid of the appointed lawyer. Once drafting and agreeing upon the terms and conditions of the buying contract, the promissory contract can be signed. This is signed by the buyer and the vendor, or their representatives, which is also normally accompanied by a 10% deposit based on the total purchase value agreed. At this stage a deadline is usually set for the signing date of the final deed. If either party defaults in the completion of the final deed, a compensation is then in place with this deposit.

2. Signing of Final Deed (Escritura)

Before signing the final deed, which usually takes place in a public notary, the buyer must pay IMT (Property Transfer Tax). Both parties can either be present or give power of attorney to their legal representative. Upon signature of the final deed the buyer will pay the remaining property purchase balance, alongside notary and registration fees.

3. Property Ownership Officiation

With the purchase and deed complete, the representing lawyer will help the buyer complete their registry in the Land Registry, as well as changing all utility bills to the new owner’s name.

CORPORATE OWNERSHIP

1. Structure Due Diligence

When the required documentation is shared, your appointed representative lawyer will preform the essential due diligence, on both the history and the legal procedures of the structure in question. This will allow for the buyer and the lawyer to understand the exact status of the company to be acquired, in regards to matters like, maintenance fees practiced, ongoing costs, warranties, company legal representation as well as present procedures followed.

2. Signing of Share Purchase Agreement

Much like signing a promissory contract, when dealing with the purchase process of a corporately owned property, a Share Purchase Agreement is drafted and agreed upon by both parties. Once a consensus is reached, both in regards to the property value and the terms and conditions of the agreement, a 10% deposit is transferred from the buyer to the vendor. At this stage a deadline is usually set for the signing date of the final deed. If either party defaults in the completion of the final deed, a compensation is then in place with this deposit.

3. Payment of Remaining Purchase Balance

The complete transfer of company ownership, takes place once the remaining purchase balance is payed, and this can either be done under the company’s domicile or under Portuguese jurisdiction. Upon agreement of the final terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement, the remaining balance can either be transferred to the buyer’s lawyer’s account or via any other agreed form of payment to the vendor.

4. Company Ownership Officiation

To complete the new company proprietorship, the appointed company management team will transfer the shares of the ownership to the new UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner). Any other remaining tasks will be organised by the management company.

Set in a very large elevated plot, the views are outstanding to the sea, the coast and the countryside. There are plenty of covered terraces with mature bougainvillaea plants and fresh water dribbling in the entrance fountain.
