Buying a property abroad is easier than many people imagine, and at Manorpark we stay with you every step of the way, offering help and advice based on our many years’ experience in the Algarve region. Check out our quick guide below…

Why the Algarve region in particular?

There are many reasons why investing in property in the Algarve makes sense. Firstly, it offers 12 month rental opportunities. The Algarve is home to many top class golf courses, which are especially visited in the winter months. You can’t say this about many places! So if you choose a property near to both golf courses and the sea – and there are many such places – you could get year-round rental instead of only the summer. Think how this would increase the income from your property!

Secondly, the Algarve is small compared to other parts of Europe, so demand will always be higher than supply. This keeps prices high and stable. Another reason why the Algarve is popular is that it sits in a quiet corner of Europe – politically stable, and free of terrorism and natural catastrophes. These are important aspects to consider these days, to protect your investment.

The Algarve property market had its peak around 2002-03, and then dipped slightly in 2004-05, principally due to changes in tax laws and off-shore ownership. In 2006, though, the market has started to increase again, making now an excellent time to buy.

What should I consider when choosing an Algarve holiday villa?

Location is key – and purchasing near beach and golf courses will ensure year-round rentals. Properties need to be modern, well-equipped and tastefully furnished – people expect an attractive and fully-functioning holiday home. Setting up rental properties “on the cheap” does not pay off!

What happens once I’ve bought the property?

If you’re renting it out, a local management/rental company can take care of it for you, leaving you on average 30-40% net profit of the rental income. At Manorpark we offer this service in the Central Algarve area, and we can recommend plenty of good firms in east Algarve and west Algarve.
