Algarve Property for Sale by Location
Each part of the Algarve offers a different way of life. Start with the region, then narrow down to the town:
Central Algarve and the Golden Triangle
Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura form the Golden Triangle: gated golf resorts, beaches and the highest prices in the region, 15 to 25 minutes from Faro airport.
West Algarve
The West Algarve runs from Vila do Bispo to Lagoa: cliffs, sandy coves and towns with year-round life such as Lagos and Carvoeiro. Expect sea-view villas, golf homes at Palmares and countryside villas with land.
East Algarve
Quieter and generally better value, the East Algarve has the Ria Formosa lagoon, Olhão's waterfront and inland villages such as São Brás de Alportel.
Houses and Homes for Sale in the Algarve

Buying Property in the Algarve, Portugal
The purchase follows the same five steps wherever you buy in the Algarve. Our buying process guide covers each one in detail:
Get your NIF and a Portuguese bank account
Both are needed before you can sign anything; your lawyer can arrange them.
View and shortlist
Book viewings with one of our three offices and ask for the property documents (caderneta predial, land registry certificate, habitation licence, energy certificate).
Make an offer and sign the promissory contract (CPCV)
A deposit, commonly 10% to 30% of the price, secures the property while checks are completed.
Legal checks
Your independent lawyer checks title, debts, licences and planning compliance.
Complete at the notary
The deed (escritura) is signed, IMT and Stamp Duty are paid and the property is registered in your name.
Taxes and Costs When Buying in Portugal
Buying property in Portugal involves Property Transfer Tax (IMT, a sliding rate that depends on price and use), Stamp Duty (currently 0.8%), notary and land registry fees and legal fees; budget roughly 7% to 9% of the price on top for a non-primary residence. Non-resident buyers need a NIF; buyers from outside the EU may need a fiscal representative.
We recommend an independent, Portugal-qualified lawyer and can introduce English-speaking firms. This section is informational and is not legal or tax advice: confirm current rates with a licensed professional.
