The Real Estate in the Portuguese jurisdiction

Pedro Ferreirinha, partner responsible for VdA's Real Estate practice, writes a chapter for The Real Estate Law Review. The partner contextualizes the real estate sector in Portugal, where he explains the legal framework, the overview, the investment, among other important factors for the cycle of life of the national real estate sector.

Pedro Ferreirinha states that the real estate sector is "traditionally dependent on and supported by the availability of financing, and the Portuguese real estate market will continue to face strong restrictions in this respect during 2015. The absence of financing in the Portuguese market has, however, been compensated for by a number of well-conceived legal instruments designed to attract foreign investment that are expected to continue playing an important role in future years."
