Is Santana a good investment destination in 2026?

What property taxes apply when buying in Santana, Portugal?

In Portugal, buyers pay IMT (municipal property transfer tax, sliding scale 0–8% depending on property value and buyer type), IMI (annual municipal property tax, 0.3–0.8% of tax assessed value), and stamp duty at 0.8% of the purchase price. These rates apply nationally, including Santana.

How liquid is the Santana real estate market?
