Guidance before buying: What additional costs are there?<\/h1>\n
When purchasing property in Portugal, various additional costs arise besides the purchase price. The following example can serve as a rough guide:<\/p>\n
When the property purchase price is 50,000 Euros<\/strong> The following incidental costs of purchase may arise:<\/p>\n These values serve as an example and can vary depending on the property, usage, tax classification, and individual circumstances. However, they provide an initial realistic estimate that buyers can use for their calculations.<\/p>\n An important part of property valuation is the issue of infrastructure. Not every plot of land in a rural location already has direct connections \u2013 but solutions are often easily achievable.<\/p>\n If existing power lines are already in close proximity to the property, the costs for a small wall with a meter box and connection are often around \u20ac1,500 - \u20ac2,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If the next power line is further away, the costs will increase accordingly. As a rough rule of thumb, for every 40 metres of additional distance, approximately \u20ac500 can be added, especially if additional poles and lines need to be erected.<\/p>\n Therefore, a self-sufficient solution is also of interest for many properties. Modern solar systems have become significantly cheaper in the meantime. A powerful system with good battery capacity can already be realised from around \u20ac6,000 \u2013 particularly attractive for anyone who wants to live independently or implement a nature-oriented off-grid concept.<\/p>\n For properties on the outskirts of a town, there is often a public water pipe nearby. If the existing pipe lies less than approximately 20 metres<\/strong> removed, a connection can cost around \u20ac1,000. For larger distances, additional costs are incurred, which are usually borne by the property owner.<\/p>\n Alternatively, many buyers opt for their own well. The initial costs are usually higher than connecting to the local water network. However, this investment can pay off in the long run, as there are no ongoing water costs afterwards \u2013 especially for larger properties, gardens, fruit trees, or high water requirements in the summer.<\/p>\n In many suburban areas, there is a sewage pipe in the street that can be connected to. However, connection is not always mandatory. Often, a private septic tank on the property is also possible.<\/p>\n A properly constructed and professionally used cesspit is odourless and largely low-maintenance. The costs often range from around 1,000 to 2,000 euros.<\/p>\n If a telephone line is available within approximately 400 metres, connection can often be made without a connection fee; the line up to the property is usually covered by the provider.<\/p>\n Fibre optic broadband is available in many places in the region. Alternatively, the internet can also be used via the mobile network \u2013 for example, with a router. The monthly costs are often around 20 euros, depending on the provider and tariff.<\/p>\n Anyone who buys a property in the Pedr\u00f3g\u00e3o Grande region through Besthomez will receive selected support services free of charge.<\/p>\n This includes:<\/p>\n Especially for international buyers, these first administrative steps are often unfamiliar. Our goal is to make the initial process on site simpler, clearer, and more efficient.<\/p>\n Anyone who wants to build on their property requires professional planning, building documents, and a permit process. Besthomez can also assist buyers during this phase and facilitate contact with experienced local professionals.<\/p>\n The costs for building plans and the building permit process depend on the size and complexity of the project. In many cases, they are approximately between \u20ac4,000 and \u20ac8,000.<\/p>\n In the planning phase, the foundations of the construction project are developed. This includes, among other things:<\/p>\n In the second phase, the so-called Specialties<\/strong> developed \u2013 meaning the technical and engineering documentation required for approval.<\/p>\n This can include:<\/p>\n The construction management can also be organised upon request.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ein Grundst\u00fcck in Portugal zu kaufen, ist f\u00fcr viele Menschen der Beginn eines neuen Lebensentwurfs: mehr Natur, mehr Ruhe, mehr Freiheit \u2013 und vielleicht der Wunsch, ein eigenes Haus, ein kleines Retreat oder ein naturnahes Ferienprojekt zu realisieren.
