What We Do
Fundamentally, the company has been buying beautiful old buildings in various states of disrepair and renovating them using a cost-efficient, skilled and intelligent methodology.
As property prices rise in Portugal’s principal cities and tourism areas, the country’s interior regions offer increasing value for money and variety. There is an historic over-supply of older, unused properties and a growing national and international demand for fully upgraded homes in rural areas, away from cities and tourism hotspots.
The Company:
• Buys historic buildings to convert into apartments for sale
• Buys historic properties to remodel for sale
• Builds Concepto-Studio designed, energy efficient, cost-effective bioclimatic homes for sale
• Sells houses, estates and development projects for third-parties
The company started with projects in villages, buying old cottages and turning them into attractive, safe, insulated and heated homes. Later, moving to historic properties in town settings the company now is concentrating on the conversion of substantial and iconic historic zone buildings into high-end apartments.
The development of beautifully designed, bioclimatic modular homes for edge-of-village marks an entry into the new build market using our buying skills, knowledge of local planning laws and existing market positioning.
Rural Properties also markets a fascinating selection of properties for selected third-parties - owners who have contacted us after seeing the company’s market positioning and access to developers, corporate buyers and individuals seeking rural assets.
