Investment and Real Estate Advice
The real estate market in Portugal has grown rapidly over the last decade, specially in Lisbon, mainly due to foreign investment both because of the Golden Visa scheme or simply because investors have had the foresight to realize that Lisbon is the last capital in Europe left to fully develop economically and turistically, at the same level of its counterparts; such development is happening rather quickly because of the momentum achieved due to various sociopolitical factors at play all over the world, causing the perfect storm to create the right moment to invest in Portugal.
Property Management
Culturally renting has never been the go to for the Portuguese, as buying sooner rather than later is preferred by the locals. However with the influx of foreigners there is a great shortage of rental properties at international quality standards, especially furnished places for medium to long term. At Guaika we would like to help you make the best out of your investment properties and while they increase in value, renting them out is a great opportunity, but it requires local contacts to deal with the day to day management; and that is a hassle we would like to remove from things you need to worry about.

Due to the volume of customers brought to banks, a mortgage broker in Portugal will likely get special conditions from the banks, making offers at the banks that are suitable for you whilst helping the customer choose the better fit for their needs.
