Since the confinement period, due to Covid-19, demand for luxury properties has been changing. Families and investors are now looking, above all, for houses and farms outside the city centre, especially on the Cascais, Sintra and Alentejo Lines.

The properties that were allocated to tourism, such as local accommodation, are being placed on the buy/sell and ‘long term rental’ market with great success.
