When will Portugal’s property business restart?
Portugal’s lockdown has started to be lifted and, with Covid-19 cases at less than a tenth of the UK and Spain, we can expect normality to return to the Algarve earlier than some southern European areas.

Lisbon and the Algarve: properties to suit all budgets

Or Lisbon, where a short walk will take you from an upmarket district, home to boutiques and glamorous apartments, to a charming neighbourhood with peeling paint and washing hanging from window sills. When you’ve worked out your budget, Portugal has the homes.
