Imobiliário português a despertar interesse dos investidores: 7 mil milhões de euros para comprar.

Classes com maior aumento de procura são logística, residencial de rendimento e o setor da saúde, segundo um inquérito da Cushman & Wakefield (C&W).

Os investidores continuam de olhos postos em Portugal e revelam ter disponíveis cerca de sete mil milhões de euros para comprar imobiliário comercial no país, segundo um inquérito realizado pela consultora imobiliária Cushman & Wakefield (C&W). As conclusões mostram que o “apetite” pela aquisição de escritórios e residências de estudantes continua em alta, ainda que as classes que registam um maior aumento da procura sejam a logística, residencial de rendimento e o setor da saúde. Os dados divulgados indicam, também, que os investidores têm perto de três mil milhões de euros em ativos para vender num "futuro próximo”.

O inquérito realizado pela consultora, junto de 53 investidores, incluindo fundos de investimento, "family offices", gestoras imobiliárias e seguradoras, tinha como objetivo avaliar o impacto da pandemia em Portugal nas intenções de investimento, nos mercados de ocupação e nos níveis de preços para as diferentes classes de ativos imobiliários. Segundo os resultados, e somando as intenções de investimento de todos os participantes, haverá mais de 7.000 milhões disponíveis para adquirir imobiliário comercial em Portugal. “Confiantes na liquidez do mercado português”, refere ainda o estudo, os investidores revelaram terem ainda cerca de 3.000 milhões previstos em vendas num “futuro próximo”.

A grande maioria dos inquiridos, nomeadamente 83%, considera que o mercado de investimento retomará os níveis de atividade e de preços pré-covid-19 ao longo dos próximos 18 meses, estimando que a descida de preços será mais evidente nas áreas de retalho e hotelaria. Antecipam, por outro lado, que a logística, escritórios e residências de estudantes venham a ter menores oscilações.

O estudo indica ainda que 87% dos investidores estudaram oportunidades de investimento durante o período de confinamento, e perto de 63% estavam prontos a apresentar ofertas. Quase 50% dos inquiridos não mudaram as suas estratégias de investimento, 31% estão a reconsiderar o perfil de risco dos investimentos, e 22% estão a avaliar outro tipo de ativos.

Portuguese Golden Visas soar in pandemic: 146 million invested in May, the best month since March 2017
Investment almost tripled (192%) in one year. In April, it had fallen 46% compared to the same period last year.

The investment raised through Residence Authorizations for Investment Activities (ARI), as gold visas are known, almost tripled (192%) in May, compared to the same month of 2019, to 146 million euros. A big increase, particularly in Covid-19 times, since in April it had fallen 46% compared to the same month last year, to 28 million euros.

According to accounts made by Lusa based on statistics from the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF), in May, the total investment resulting from the granting of gold visas reached 146,168,473.40 euros, 192% more than the 50 million euros recorded in May 2019.

The investment value raised in May is, moreover, the highest monthly amount since March 2017, when 192.4 million euros were raised. In monthly terms, that is, compared to April, the investment raised more than quintupled (421%).

In the first five months of the year, the total investment raised through gold visas totaled 293,903,059.01 euros, 1.7% less than a year earlier. The amount raised in May contributed, as the figures show, to this result. It should also be noted that between January and May, 529 “golden visas” were granted, more than half of which were granted in May alone: ​​of the 270 granted in May, 257 were through the acquisition of real estate, of which 73 for urban rehabilitation, and 13 through the capital transfer criterion.

The purchase of real estate - worth more than at least 500,000 euros - totaled 136.9 million euros (urban rehabilitation amounted to 26.2 million euros) and the transfer of capital 9.2 million euros.

By nationality, in May, 68 gold visas were granted to citizens from China. Brazilians (30), North Americans and Indians (19) and Turks (17).

In more than seven years - the ARI program was launched in October 2012 - the accumulated investment until last March totaled 5,286,156,889.96 euros, with the acquisition of real estate totaling 4,775,165,734.06 euros.

Of the total investment in property purchases, 213,087,521.50 euros correspond to the acquisition requirement in view of urban rehabilitation. Visas issued by capital transfers totaled 510,991,155.90 euros.

In all, 8,736 gold visas have already been awarded: two in 2012, 494 in 2013, 1,526 in 2014, 766 in 2015, 1,414 in 2016, 1,351 in 2017, 1,409 in 2018, 1,245 in 2019 and 529 in 2020.

Of the 8,736 visas already granted, 8,227 were through the purchase of real estate, of which 592 in view of urban rehabilitation. Due to the capital transfer requirement, 492 were allocated and 17 were also delivered through the creation of at least 10 jobs.

By nationality, China leads the way in granting visas (4,586), followed by Brazil (925), Turkey (418), South Africa (351) and Russia (329).

Since the beginning of the program, 14,936 residence permits have been granted to reunited family members, of which 515 in 2020.

Gold visas continue, or not?
The program of assignments of gold visas has made a lot of ink run, since the changes to the regime, approved in the State Budget for 2020 (OE2020), foresaw a brake in Lisbon and Porto. A measure, moreover, very contested by several ‘players’ in the real estate sector. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they are suspended, and the Government has decided to leave the decision to change the rules on stand by.

The relaunch of gold visas is, moreover, one of the measures contained in the “Programa Relançar”, which was recently launched by the Portuguese Association of Real Estate Developers and Investors (APPII) and which aims to attract investment to the real estate sector and place Portugal on the path to economic recovery in post-Covid-19, generating confidence from national and foreign investors.

- Official Tax Description of the Real Estate, when Legally feasible;
- Excerpt of the Commercial Register issued within the prior 45 days in case the investment is made by means of a single-member limited company of which the applicant is the proprietor.

All documentation (unless otherwise noted) needs to be issued within 90 days before your online application.

The investment can be made as an individual or through a legal entity meeting certain requirements. You will also need to meet the (minimal) physical presence requirements.
Anyone except Portuguese and EU/EFTA citizens - can apply for the Golden Visa Program after completing a suitable investment into Portugal before asking for Portugal permanent residence.
