A recent study by the iad Group reveals that the British and French aspire to buy a house abroad in the coming years and place Portugal at the top of their list of preferences.
Based on the analysis of this study and the transaction values recorded by the real estate agency, the iad Group created an international real estate investment platform, with specialized professionals adapted to the client’s language.
Based on studies carried out by the iad Group, it was possible to find out that Portugal is one of the countries chosen by the English and French to buy a home. Of the four thousand respondents (2000 French and 2000 English), 25% of the French and 28% of the English stated that they intended to buy a house abroad in the coming years and placed Portugal in their top 5. Most respondents are willing to invest between 200 thousand and 400 thousand euros for the right house.
“Portugal has been attracting more and more foreigners for many years, as our country has special characteristics, such as the mild climate, security, friendliness of the Portuguese and, of course, the lower cost of living. On the other hand, another factor that helps a lot is the tax benefits that the country offers to foreigners who move here”, says Alfredo Valente, CEO of iad Portugal.
From this data, the iad Group felt the need to create an online platform that would respond to a market need and offer a real estate investment service worldwide, with real estate consultants who are specialists in the sector and who provide a personalized service, speaking in the same language as the investor. iad Overseas aggregates more than 90,000 properties from the iad Group’s subsidiaries and has the premise of being closer to the foreign buyer, providing a higher quality and more personalized service, provided by a qualified iad Overseas consultant.
“Investing abroad requires the support of the right people, who understand the specificities of the local market, verify the quality of the property purchased or the type of lease contract, calculate the return on investment, and have a network of consultants and reliable real estate developers and, if possible, that they speak French and English”, says Laurent Molin, Marketing Director of the iad Group.
The iad Group, France’s number 1 network of independent real estate consultants and the leading network of real estate consultants in Europe, now offers, through the new iad Overseas platform, a personalized international property buying experience while maintaining its quality standards.

A apetência por zonas tradicionalmente procuradas pelos investidores estrangeiros mantém-se, mas Alfredo realça que “há um crescente interesse por zonas mais rurais, o que abre novas oportunidades de negócio”.
