A simplified illustration: each personal-use week reduces the annual revenue by one fifty-second. Before costs and taxes. Actual revenue varies with season and demand; income is not guaranteed.

Discuss your plans with our team ↗
Before the numbers

Decide what ownership should do for you.

Three conversations worth having before you commit.

Personal use

A home for your own holidays, a future move, rental income, or a balance of these. Your preferred weeks and location shape the shortlist.

Total ownership cost

Look beyond the asking price. Allow for purchase costs, maintenance, utilities, insurance, management, taxes and any financing. Review the figures with independent advisers.

Evidence before commitment

For a home already in operation, ask which period the revenue covers, what it includes and which records support it. Discuss the property documents and management terms before deciding.

Questions worth asking

What does gross rental yield tell me?

It compares annual rental revenue with the asking price. It is not your take-home return: operating costs, taxes, financing and purchase costs change the result. We distinguish reported revenue from estimates.

Can I use the house and still rent it out?

Yes. Discuss your own dates and the management arrangement with us. The personal-use tool on each operating property gives a simple indication of the effect of reserving weeks; it is not a forecast of seasonal demand or a guaranteed return.

Do I have to keep Portugal Active as the manager?

No. Ongoing management is a choice. We can discuss hospitality, guest support, housekeeping, maintenance coordination and reporting under a separate agreement.

What if the right property is not in the collection?

Share your preferred area, budget, timing and intended use. We can discuss private opportunities and, where appropriate, work with our partner network on your search. Availability and any partner terms are confirmed individually.
