market

Press Release Body: Buying Property in Silver Coast Portugal
Buying property in Silver Coast Portugal is currently popular with Europeans, but as
of yet, not so much with the British property buyers. This is because properties are
relatively inexpensive and transport links to/from the UK are getting better and
cheaper to the Silver Coast. Buying property in Silver Coast Portugal offers superb
beach holiday facilities with a great summer climate, great culture, architecture
and history. Also, the Silver Coast is tipped to see significant capital property
value rises in the coming years.
Portugal is an evergreen in the overseas property market. Build quality is high,
property prices have grown a steady 10-15% per annum since the Millennium, and
there's a broad choice of property across the price range and country - within the
Silver Coast the price grow within the following years will possibly reach the 25 -
35 %.
Buying property in Silver Coast Portugal offers good prospects for rental from both
the local market and from holidaymakers, and with the potential of significant
property price rises on the Silver Coast Portugal, this could be the ideal place to
invest in a holiday home.
Buying property in Portugal still has great appeal as it has a benign tax system
which allows avoidance of the worst effects of capital gains and inheritance tax and
can put you in a lower tax band.
Why buy in the the Silver Coast

Property experts have been advising clients to look beyond the Algarve, with its
pockets of overgrowing, and invest instead in homes 45 minutes\' drive from Lisbon on
Portugal\'s Silver Coast. Maddison says, \"The Algarve used to be the most popular
area. However, it is now rather overrun with Brits and over commercialized. In other
words it is too popular now, with many of those looking to purchase in Portugal now
looking elsewhere.\"
According to international property specialists the Silver Coast is now the
up-and-coming area in Portugal. \"Many Brits are selling up in the Algarve and moving
up to the Oeste Region, which is located just north of Lisbon. This area is still
very Portuguese, with farming the main source of income for the locals. It does not
die in the winter because most of the locals are Portuguese. The cost of properties
is so much cheaper than on the Algarve - so there is still room to make money in
this area\".
But what of the place itself? The Silver Coast stretches from Porto down to
Portugal\'s capital Lisbon and hugs the North Atlantic coastline; it is home to
beautiful beaches, amazing cliffs, quaint fishing villages, lush rolling countryside
and some of the most fascinating historic sites in Portugal. Here you can discover
pretty villages and a real Portuguese way of life. The Silver Coast is a
particularly good bet for those with holiday lets in mind, thanks to the new A8
motorway which has cut journey times from Lisbon to the Silver Coast considerably,
opening the atmospheric towns of Caldas da Rainha and Turcifal, and pretty villages,
such as Peniche, up to tourists and investors.
There is a wide range of property available on the Silver Coast. You can find
traditional farmhouses in need of renovation, but there has also been a fair amount
of developments popping up and luxury villas with pools and apartments in complexes
are easy to find.

Access to the area is becoming even easier as more and more airlines now offer
frequent flights to Lisbon.
