Enquire about this vertical today — no upfront charges.
Portugal has become one of Europe's most sought-after real estate destinations — combining Atlantic lifestyle, low crime, excellent healthcare, favourable NHR tax status, and EU residency pathways. Indian high-net-worth individuals, NRIs, and entrepreneurs represent a growing segment of Portugal's international buyer pool. We provide orientation, licensed agent introductions, and transaction facilitation — earning a transparent referral commission from licensed real estate agents, with no fee charged to the buyer.
We earn a referral commission of 0.75–2% of the transaction value from the licensed agent or developer, paid from their existing commission. No fee is charged to the buyer at any stage. This transparent model ensures our advice is disinterested.
| Deal Size | Commission Rate | Indicative Earning |
|---|---|---|
| Residential property | 1–2% referral | €200k–€800k |
| Luxury / investment villa | 0.75–1.5% referral | €800k–€2M+ |
| Commercial property | 1–2% referral | €300k–€3M |
All commissions confirmed in writing via NCNDA + Commission Agency Agreement before any introduction. Five-year non-circumvention protection. Payment typically net 10 business days from trigger event.
Subject-matter expertise + global network + documented deal process. The only intermediary model that works across borders.
We provide Indian buyers with a clear, unbiased overview of the Portuguese property market — city vs coastal vs rural, price trends, neighbourhood dynamics, and realistic expectations for yields and capital growth.
We introduce buyers to licensed Portuguese real estate agents (AMI-registered) who specialise in international buyers and speak English. We do not ourselves conduct property transactions.
We introduce buyers to Portuguese lawyers and tax advisors for NIF (tax number) registration, purchase contract review, AIMI/IMT tax advice, and — where relevant — NHR tax residency application.
We provide orientation on Portuguese mortgage availability for non-residents and introduce specialist mortgage brokers for buyers requiring financing.
For European companies seeking commercial premises or warehousing in India, we facilitate introductions to RERA-registered commercial real estate agents in target locations.
A comprehensive scope of facilitation activity within this vertical — from first introduction through to repeat order management and multi-year supply agreements.

We actively develop distribution channels via targeted prospecting with product samples, pilot shipments, and trial orders. Every new buyer relationship begins with a qualification call, followed by a documented sample or pilot order to prove commercial viability before any long-term commitment is made. This is the most effective route to sustainable bilateral volume.

Portugal IFICI (successor to NHR) offers qualifying non-habitual residents a 20% flat tax rate on Portuguese-source professional income for 10 years. For an Indian IT professional earning EUR 80,000/year in Portugal, this saves EUR 10,000-15,000/year vs. standard Portuguese progressive tax (up to 48%). Apply for IFICI in the first year of tax residency — it cannot be applied retrospectively.
Portugal real estate prices in Lisbon, Porto, and Algarve have grown 8-15% annually for the past 5 years. Indian buyers entering the market in 2025-2026 are entering at a lower base than 2027-2028 buyers will face. The India-EU FTA and growing Indian community in Portugal create additional demand tailwinds for the next 5 years.
