Long-term property management in Lisbon, in English
You own in Lisbon and you do not live there, or you do not speak Portuguese, or both. Tagus Property manages long-term lets end to end, with an English-speaking team on the ground in Lisbon and everything you see in English: 12% of the rent + VAT. If you would rather do it yourself, there is the Tagus Rentals software.
What professional management includes
Finding the right tenant
Market appraisal, professional photography, listing on the main portals and viewings run by us, with no need for you to be there. Candidates’ proof of income and guarantees are checked, and the decision is always yours.
Lease and paperwork
Checking the property paperwork, drafting a lease compliant with Portuguese law, registering it with the tax authority, and a check-in inspection with a photographic inventory annexed to the lease.
Rents on time
Rent receipts are filed electronically with the Portuguese tax authority in your name, and the official PDF lands in your portal: you never have to log in to the tax portal. Plus monthly monitoring that payment came in, and reminders to the tenant when it is late. The rent is paid straight to you, and you follow everything in real time.
Maintenance and surprises
A trusted network of contractors for repairs, with budgets approved by you. Tenants report issues through the platform; we handle them.
Full transparency
Permanent access to the landlord portal: rents, expenses, documents and your investment returns, even while living abroad.
Protected end of lease
A check-out inspection compared against check-in, deposit settlement backed by photos, and preparing the property for the next tenant.
Managing from abroad, in English
- Your point of contact is an English-speaking person in Lisbon, not a call centre and not a translation tool.
- Lease, receipts, inspections and statements explained in English, even though the legal documents are Portuguese by law.
- Your tenant deals with us in Portuguese; you read everything in English on your own portal.
- Rent is paid straight into your account, in euros, wherever your bank is.

Frequently asked questions about property management in Lisbon
How much does rental management cost in Lisbon?
Full management costs 12% of the rent + VAT per month. If a tenant has to be found, a letting commission of one month’s rent + VAT applies once. Request the free estimate to get the exact proposal for your case.
Is it worth it for non-resident landlords?
That’s where professional management pays off most: we represent you on the ground (viewings, inspections, maintenance, tenant relations), and the online portal lets you follow rents, expenses and documents from any country, in real time.
Who issues the rent receipts?
We do, electronically, directly with the Portuguese tax authority and in your name. You authorise us once on the tax portal, lease by lease, and we walk you through it. From then on the receipt goes out every month and the official PDF sits in your portal, with no need for you to log in to the tax portal.
How do I receive the rent?
Rent is paid directly to the landlord. The platform records payments, sends reminders when rent is late and keeps the full history: total transparency, with no money passing through intermediaries.
What if the tenant stops paying?
We act immediately: email notices, direct phone contact with the tenant and, if needed, referral to a lawyer for legal support. Careful tenant screening at the start is the best prevention, and it’s part of our service.
What commitment is required?
The management agreement defines the scope and can be tailored to your case (full management or selected services). Ask for the estimate and tell us what you need. The proposal is made to measure.
Do I need to speak Portuguese?
No. Your contact at Tagus Property speaks English, your portal is in English, and we deal with the tenant, the building and the contractors in Portuguese on your behalf. The lease itself is in Portuguese because the law requires it, and we explain every clause that matters to you.
Do you manage short-term or holiday lets?
No. We only manage long-term residential lets. Short-term letting follows different law, different taxation and a different kind of operation, and mixing the two serves neither well.
How much could your property earn?
Tell us where it is and what it’s like. We reply with a well-founded rent estimate and our management proposal, no strings attached.
