Owning from abroad

Your Cascais home, safe in local hands

Most of our owners live in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, France or the US. Their homes are here, and so are we: inspecting, maintaining, hosting and reporting, all year round.

The five worries

What keeps absent owners awake, and our answer

01 Who is actually checking the home?

We are, physically, between every stay and through the winter. Inspections are routine, not on request, and you hear about issues from us first, with photos.

02 What happens in an emergency?

A burst pipe at 2am is handled by people who can be at the door, with keys, and with trades we have used for years. You find out with the solution, not just the problem.

03 Am I still compliant?

Portuguese short-term rental rules change. AL and RNAL status, tourist tax, AIMA and SIBA guest reporting, insurance proof and the complaint book are our checklist, not yours.

04 Is the money right?

A clear statement at the end of every month showing every booking, every cost and your payout. Transparent enough that our owners have trusted it for over a decade.

05 Is anyone being straight with me?

Distance breeds doubt. We fight it with honesty: real photos, honest reporting, and a no when something is not worth your money.

+ And when you visit

Block your dates and walk into your own home, cleaned and prepared like it is for guests. It stays your home first.

What local representation means

The work that only happens if someone is here

Inspections between stays

Every checkout is followed by an inspection: condition, inventory, small damage, anything drifting out of standard.

Trades, supervised

Plumbers, electricians and builders we have worked with for years, quoted properly and checked when the job is done.

Utilities and admin

Meter readings, contract issues, building notices, condominium letters: the paperwork of ownership, dealt with locally.

Compliance filings

Tourist tax, guest reporting to the authorities, licence renewals and the records to prove it, filed on time.

Winter care

Empty homes deteriorate quietly. Ventilation, damp checks, garden and pool upkeep continue through the off season.

Guest hosting

If the home earns, every guest is vetted, hosted and cared for by the same team that answers to you.

Common questions

Non-resident owners ask us these

Do I need to be in Portugal to hand over management?
No. Onboarding is handled by email and video call, keys and documents by courier or a single visit. Many of our owners we meet in person only when they holiday in their own home.
Can you deal with my Portuguese paperwork?
The property side, yes: AL licensing, tourist tax, guest reporting, insurance proof and utility admin. For personal tax we work alongside your accountant and provide the clean records they need.
How quickly do I hear about problems?
Straight away for anything material, documented with photos and a recommended fix. Routine matters are in your monthly statement. Silence is never the update.
What if I only want care, not rentals?
That works too. Some owners want the home inspected, maintained and ready, without guests. The service is built around what you want from the house.
Can I use the home whenever I want?
Always. You block your dates and we prepare the home for your arrival the way we would for our best guest.
