When the heart says Home but the head says ROI*

Buying a home in Portugal can feel like falling in love.
Your heart races at the sight of the Atlantic glittering in the sunlight. A Lisbon café serves a perfect espresso while the city hums around you. You picture lazy Sundays, seafood lunches, sunsets over terracotta rooftops…

Then, just as you’re ready to sign on the dotted line, your head joins the conversation:
What about the return on investment? Will this property keep its value? Could it generate rental income?

At Unyk-Place Real Estate, we understand that buying in Portugal is rarely just a numbers game, nor is it purely a daydream. The best decisions are made where passion meets practicality, where the lifestyle you crave also delivers strong financial potential.

The heart’s choice: falling for Portugal

For many, the decision to buy here starts with an almost explainable feeling. Or as we like to say in French, “le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ignore”.

Yes, perhaps you’ve visited Portugal before and never truly left, at least in spirit. You remember the golden light of late afternoon in the Algarve, the warmth of locals in a small Alentejo village, or the cosmopolitan buzz of Lisbon and Porto. For many, it’s about a lifestyle upgrade, like better food, warmer weather, a rich cultural scene, and the rare convenience of having incredible beaches within easy reach.

Portugal offers all this with a cost of living that’s still attractive compared to much of Western Europe, plus a healthcare system and safety record that reassure those planning a longer stay.

And it’s when your heart says « Yes » that Unyk-Place steps out to make it a reality. Our multilingual team connects you with trusted relocation experts, handles the paperwork in your language, and ensures every cultural and legal detail is taken care of so you can focus on enjoying the dream you’ve fallen for.

A dream your heart responds to, and for good reasons. But the head? It wants facts.

The head’s choice: making the numbers work

Portugal’s property market has gained a solid reputation among investors, and rightly so. Recent data further underlines Portugal’s exceptional momentum as a real estate destination in Europe.

In 2023, property prices across the country rose by approximately 6.2%, contributing to a remarkable 41% increase over the past five years. By early 2025, Portugal had soared to the top in the European Union with over 15% year-on-year growth, far exceeding the EU average of around 5-6%. Within Portugal, regional disparities are notable: in February 2024, average prices in Lisbon reached €5,538 per m², whereas the Algarve (Faro district) averaged €3,300 per m², attracting high international demand. Beyond capital appreciation, the country offers attractive gross rental yields of 5-10% and a stable economy (with GDP growth of 2.3% in 2023).

Taken together, these facts indicate that the “right time” to invest in Portugal was already yesterday, and that the market still offers above-average upside relative to many other European markets, driven by sustained foreign demand. It seems that Portugal finally offers the possibility that lots have long been looking for: not having to choose between romance and return.

When heart and head align, Unyk-Place makes it work

If your objective is to combine lifestyle with solid capital appreciation and rental potential, Unyk-Place is positioned to guide that decision in Portugal: we translate forecasts into personalised scenarios, work hand-in-hand with financial advisors, tax specialists, and mortgage brokers to help you calculate yields, structure your purchase for maximum efficiency, and ensure your investment works just as hard as you do.

At Unyk-Place, we believe that properties are much more than transactions. They are a long-term decision that should make sense emotionally and financially. Unlike most agencies, we don’t only act as intermediaries in negotiations. The group also integrates a leading property developer, BMRI. This gives our clients access to projects that are « Unyk » to the market, with quality, location, and design carefully planned from the ground up. Our properties in the Algarve offer modern living, premium finishes, and excellent value-for-money investments.

Our multilingual, international team works across Lisbon, the Algarve, and other prime regions, curating a portfolio that meets high standards for both living and investing. We accompany our clients from the very first conversation to the final signature with attentive guidance and the support of trusted, highly qualified partners at every step.
