Currency Management
If you’re selling property in Lagos or elsewhere in Portugal and repatriating funds abroad, currency strategy can make a significant difference to your final proceeds. Exchange rates move daily, and traditional banks often apply less competitive rates and slower transfer processes. Specialist currency brokers such as Smart Currency Exchange monitor the markets and can secure favourable rates in advance, helping sellers achieve stronger exchange rates and faster international transfers. Even small improvements in the rate can translate into meaningful savings when moving larger property sums across borders.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sell my property in Portugal?
Selling a property in Portugal starts with gathering the right documents – your energy certificate, habitation licence, property registration, and land registry details.
From there, I’ll prepare a realistic market valuation based on comparable sales across Lagos and the Algarve.
As your estate agent, I manage every step: photography, listing, viewings, negotiations, and coordination with lawyers and notaries.
You’ll have one clear point of contact and full visibility from valuation to completion.
How long does it take to sell a property in Lagos?
That depends on price positioning and property type, but most well-presented homes in Lagos sell within 3–6 months (although I’ve sold properties in less than a week before – so it’s definitely possible 😏)
Pricing accurately from the start is key – it attracts qualified buyers and speeds up offers.
With the right exposure and strategy, I’ll help you reach serious buyers faster and get the strongest result possible.
What are the taxes and costs when selling property in Portugal?
When selling property in Portugal, the main costs are capital gains tax, estate agency commission, and legal fees.
If you’re a non-resident, capital gains are usually taxed at a flat rate, though exemptions may apply if you reinvest in another EU property.
I’ll connect you with an accountant who can calculate your exact obligations and ensure everything is handled correctly before completion.
You can read more about capital gains tax on property at Portal das Finanças.
How do you decide on the right listing price?
It’s a mix of market data, local knowledge, and 25 years of experience (plus a healthy gut feeling).
I review comparable listings and recent sales across Lagos and the surrounding Algarve area, then adjust for features, condition, and demand.
The goal isn’t just to list – it’s to sell at the best possible price in the right timeframe.
We’ll review the strategy together before going live.
Do I need to renovate before listing?
Not always – but presentation matters.
Sometimes a simple declutter, deep clean, or small cosmetic refresh (new photos, neutral tones, tidy gardens) can make all the difference.
I’ll give you honest feedback on what’s worth doing and what’s not, so you don’t waste time or money before listing.
