However, it is not "a visible scenario in almost the entire Portuguese territory, since the houses became more expensive in nine district capitals, between September and October, with Guarda leading the increases (4.3%)" as reported in the news.

Regarding the annual variation, the price of houses in Portugal increased by 4.8%.  

Ensure maximum savings with the help of professionals.

Buying a house can be a (quite) costly process, as it involves the acquisition value, as well as the respective taxes (Municipal tax on onerous property transfers and Stamp Duty).

Even if you resort to a mortgage, you always need to have your own capital available, since banks currently do not lend 100% of the value of the house.

If the property to be acquired is for own and permanent housing, the bank lends up to 90% of the purchase or appraisal value (whichever is lower), and if it is intended for secondary housing, it finances up to 80%.
