The difference between buying a house in Portugal being a resident or not depends on the purpose of the house. 

If you buy a house to live in Portugal, you are buying a permanent home and are a resident, but if you do not live in Portugal and you buy property there it will count as a second home. This affects the property taxes you’ll have to pay.

Let's have a look at what taxes exist in Portugal when buying a property, whether as a first residence or a second house. After all, buying a property is one of the most important moments in most people’s lives, not only because it's a long-term financial decision, but also because it always raises some doubts about the expenses and taxes you have to pay. 

Here we try to answer all the questions you may have about what taxes to pay when you buy Portuguese property. And we are having to day a really exciting guest who is specialised in this topic. So I'm very happy to introduce Dra. Andrea Viegas, solicitor and owner of a law firm in Quinta Shopping in the central Algarve.

First up, we’ve got  Gary. He lives in Southampton and he’s got £500,000 to invest. He’s looking to invest his cash in the Algarve and his strategy is to generate an income. 

Obviously being in the UK, viewing properties is a little tricky for Gary, so he has no idea what kind of property he should be investing in or where he should ideally be looking to generate that income. 

Essentially, he’s asking me, if I had half a million quid to invest in the Algarve, where and what would I buy?

Tune in to find out. 

Next we have Lilian from Essex. She and her partner are looking to invest and are in the process of releasing some equity from their residential property in the UK. 

They are looking at buy-to-let properties in either Carvoeiro or Albufeira area, but Lilian wants to know my thoughts on Airbnb in general. 

She’s not run the numbers on it yet and before she wastes her time doing so, she’s wanting to know if it’s a good strategy to go with? 

Would the Airbnb strategy be a good solution for the Algarve?
