M GROUP INTERNATIONAL / THE DESTINATION EDIT
A different kind of light.
Lisbon’s neighbourhoods, the coast around Cascais, the open beaches of Comporta. Begin with a setting that suits your days, then find a property that makes it personal.
Santa Marta Lighthouse, Cascais, Portugal
THE M GROUP PERSPECTIVE
Portugal invites a choice between a city address, a coastal base and a more secluded escape. For an international buyer, those choices also change the practical brief: access, local support, upkeep and how much time the home will stand empty. Let the intended use lead.

PLACES TO EXPLORE
01 / Lisbon & Estrela
Lisbon offers an urban starting point for a Portuguese search. Our selected Estrela residence sits close to Jardim da Estrela, according to its listing. For any city property, test the route to everyday services and consider access, parking, light and privacy alongside the architecture.
Explore the Portugal selection ↓02 / Cascais & Estoril
Cascais combines a historic centre, a marina and an Atlantic setting. Compare the experience of a central address with a home further along the coast. Think through the journeys you would make regularly and the balance you want between sea air and city access.
Explore the Portugal selection ↓03 / Comporta & Carvalhal
Comporta’s broad Atlantic beach provides a different starting point from Lisbon’s streets. For a retreat here, look carefully at the relationship between the house, outdoor space and surrounding landscape. Ask about access, permitted alterations and reliable maintenance before falling for the setting alone.

LIFE IN PORTUGAL
Quality of life
Walk the neighbourhood, try the practical journeys and spend time there without a viewing agenda. A home used for a few weeks each year needs different support from one that becomes a permanent base.
Food & culture
Explore Lisbon through its cafés and cultural stops, then follow the coast towards Cascais. Portugal’s official tourism guide pairs the city’s food traditions with nearby seaside towns. Use these outings to discover which places you would enjoy as part of ordinary life.
Seasonality
Outdoor living is only one part of the ownership story. Ask how the property is ventilated, maintained and checked during absences. For a coastal home, include the condition of external finishes and the ongoing maintenance budget in your assessment.
THE INFORMED BUYER
Ownership, residence and the realities of looking after a home.
Arrange a review of the property documents, title, intended use and proposed agreement with independent local advisers. Portugal’s government provides a purchase-and-sale guide; use it as a starting point for the questions specific to your nationality and circumstances.
Separate the costs of acquiring the home from the costs of owning it. Ask your adviser to calculate applicable transfer taxes, stamp duty and annual municipal property tax, including any conditions for relief. Do not assume that a residence-related tax treatment follows from buying a property.
Before making rental income or alterations part of the plan, ask the municipality and advisers to confirm the current rules for that address. The practical question is what the particular home can lawfully accommodate, rather than what another property nearby appears to do.
Editorial guidance reviewed September 25, 2026. Tax, residence and ownership requirements depend on individual circumstances. Confirm the current position with qualified local advisers before committing.
