Before you buy
Jemma and Alice from Fine & Country provided an excelent service, communications were key and they provided a stress free environment in what is a difficult time. Thank you and well done
Charlene Regan and Alice Madden at Fine & Country have been absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Charlene found us the right buyer in just three weeks and achieved an offer well over the asking price, which speaks volumes about her skill, judgement and understanding of the market. The marketing was also superb. The photos, video, drone footage and brochure produced by the Fine & Country team presented our home beautifully and really helped show it at its best. Once we accepted the offer, Alice was exceptional in keeping everything moving smoothly and swiftly. She liaised with both sets of solicitors, kept communication flowing between us and our buyer, anticipated potential issues and helped resolve anything that came up along the way. The whole experience felt professional, proactive and well managed throughout. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Charlene, Alice and the Fine & Country team to anyone looking to sell their home.
Review for Fine & Country Cardiff – Deeply Unprofessional and Untrustworthy I strongly advise anyone considering buying a property through Fine & Country Cardiff to think twice. We dealt with Gemma, and the experience has been nothing short of appalling. From the beginning, the team were overly pushy and dismissive of our concerns. But once the sale was completed, their attitude turned outright negligent. Despite purchasing a high-value property marketed as a “smart home,” no one had the courtesy to hand over the keys in person. Instead, we were told they were “in the mailbox” and that was the end of their involvement. Upon arrival, we found the garage door was broken and unopenable. An engineer has since confirmed it must be completely replaced at a cost of £2,000. The bathroom sliding door is stuck, meaning steam from the shower floods into the room. And most critically, the entire smart home system is inaccessible. We were given login details linked to an email address that is not ours. After 10 days of calls, emails, and speaking to the U.S.-based provider, we still cannot even turn on the lights. Fine & Country Cardiff have made no effort to assist. No follow-up, no explanation, and certainly no responsibility taken. Their behaviour has been unprofessional, and completely lacking in basic courtesy. I rarely leave reviews, but this situation has caused serious stress and inconvenience. Avoid this agency at all costs. They disappear the moment the payment clears and leave you to deal with all the problems they never disclosed.
Quentin, after a careful discussion and exchange of ideas, understood exactly what we were looking. He then sent us examples of a range of properties from which we were able to refine our own definitions of exactly what we were looking for and what our budget would allow. A true professional in real estate and a pleasure to deal with.
Quentin has an excellent approach, great communication, expert knowledge, warm and empathetic whilst going through our property search with us. We cannot thank you enough and would highly recommend you to anyone starting their property search in Portugal. Kindest. Victoria
We recently sold our house with Fine & Country, using Jemma as our agent, and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Jemma was professional & knowledgeable. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free, always keeping us updated and providing expert advice every step of the way. Our house sold quickly, and with the companies extensive advertising reach, we were able to complete the sale within just five months of listing.
I found Quentin an excellent communicator when my wife and I were researching properties in his area. We had chats via zoom calls and he had properties to view when we arrived from UK. Good service, humorous and professional.
I had the pleasure of partnering with Quentin during a visit in Portugal. Quentin was a true partner, coordinating the whole trip, taking into account every detail and aspect of the trip, accessible the whole time and very understanding. He was very present and attentive to my needs and expectations. I can only highly recommend Quentin.
We had limited experience with Quentin - because he is in Portugal and we are in Canada. We can say that Quentin is completely professional. He answered emails same day and always provided information we asked for. He took the time to do his job well and we will continue our dealings with him.
Efficient, proactive, ready to help, pleasant relationship, large inventory

Sitting between Lisbon and Cascais along the Tagus estuary, Oeiras combines Portugal's densest tech corporate park with the marinas of Paço de Arcos, the Carcavelos surf beach and a rising residential density of family apartments and gated villas. Fine Luxury Property advises relocating professionals and families across this sought-after Lisbon-Cascais corridor.
Three-to-four bedroom apartments in Oeiras Parque, Paço de Arcos and Queijas, with garage parking, shared pools and concierge, priced €650,000-€2 million, many with Tagus or Serra de Sintra views.
Detached villas in Alto de Santa Catarina, Porto Salvo and the Parede-Oeiras border, typically four-to-five bedrooms with pools and 600-1,500 m² gardens, suited to family buyers relocating through the tech corridor.
Moradias and terraced townhouses in Queijas, Barcarena and Caxias, from restored 20th-century family homes to modern three-storey townhouses inside gated enclaves.
Duplex penthouses along Avenida Marginal and in the Oeiras Parque master-plan, with private terraces overlooking the Tagus, the 25 de Abril bridge and the Cascais coast, typically €1.2-€3.5 million.
Fine Luxury Property operates as an AMI-licensed estate agency with a dedicated desk for the Lisbon-Cascais corridor, covering Oeiras, Paço de Arcos, Carnaxide and Queijas. Our multilingual team works fluently in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish, reflecting the French, British, American and Brazilian professional communities employed by the tech corridor, and coordinates NIF, IMT settlement and relocation logistics end-to-end for inbound executives.
The Lagoas Park, Taguspark and Oeiras Valley developments host the Portuguese HQs of Volkswagen Autoeuropa services, Volkswagen Financial Services, BNP Paribas, Nokia, SIEMENS and more than 600 other firms, creating the densest corporate cluster outside central Lisbon.
The Paço de Arcos, Oeiras and Santo Amaro marinas run along 10 km of Tagus frontage, with beach clubs at Santo Amaro, Torre and the eastern edge of Carcavelos, giving Oeiras residents access to yacht moorings and Atlantic beach within the same municipality.
The Nova School of Business and Economics main campus sits in Carcavelos on the Oeiras border, and St Julian's School is a short drive along Avenida Marginal, making Oeiras a natural residential base for academic and international-school families.
The Cascais train line from Oeiras to Cais do Sodré takes 18-22 minutes, and the A5 motorway connects Oeiras Parque to Marquês de Pombal in 15-20 minutes. Commute economics are closer to inner Lisbon than to outer Cascais, an increasingly recognised differentiator.
Oeiras stretches from Algés in the east to Carcavelos in the west, spanning Paço de Arcos marina, Oeiras Parque, Alto de Santa Catarina, Queijas and Porto Salvo. We begin with a segment-level briefing matching employment location, school and lifestyle priorities to the right micro-market.
We organise the Portuguese tax number (NIF), a Portuguese bank account and, where the client is relocating under a corporate package, we coordinate directly with the employer's relocation provider to synchronise school places, housing and visa steps.
Our legal team verifies Caderneta Predial, Certidão Permanente, condominium minutes, energy certificate and Licença de Utilização. Where the property sits inside a master-plan development (Oeiras Parque, Taguspark residential), we audit the developer guarantee status explicitly.
The promissory contract is signed with a 10-20% deposit. For gated-community or master-plan properties we confirm community rules, annual service charges and any restrictions on short-let use in the CPCV, before the final deed is scheduled.
At final deed the buyer settles IMT (sliding 0-7.5%, primary-residence bands materially more favourable), 0.8% stamp duty and notary/registry fees of 1-2%. Oeiras municipal IMI is 0.3% of the rateable value. Keys transfer on funds release and registration is completed the same day.
Oeiras attracts the largest volume of corporate international-relocation placements of any Lisbon-area municipality outside the capital itself, driven by Lagoas Park and Taguspark employers, supporting structural long-let demand with multi-year professional tenants on relocation packages.
Oeiras corridor apartments trade 25-35% below equivalent Cascais marina stock and 20-30% below central Lisbon, offering a materially better price-per-square-metre entry for families prioritising space, modern amenities and Tagus frontage over heritage addresses.
Continued extension of the A33 ring road, upgrades to the Cascais train line and the ongoing expansion of Oeiras Parque's retail and office footprint continue to compress commute times and deepen the district's amenity base, supporting long-term rental and resale liquidity.
Few European municipalities combine a top-tier corporate cluster, an Atlantic beach (Torre and the eastern Carcavelos stretch), working marinas and a direct 20-minute train line to a capital-city centre. Oeiras does, and this rare pairing underpins structural owner-occupier demand.
A three-bedroom apartment in Oeiras Parque or Paço de Arcos typically costs €650,000-€1.4 million, or €4,500-€7,500 per square metre. Alto de Santa Catarina villas trade at €5,000-€8,000 per square metre, typically €1.5-€3.5 million for a four-bedroom house with pool and garden. Avenida Marginal seafront apartments reach €9,500 per square metre. Queijas and Porto Salvo family homes remain the best value at €4,000-€6,500 per square metre. Penthouses with Tagus views run €6,500-€10,500 per square metre.
For marina and seafront, Paço de Arcos and Oeiras Parque combine walkable restaurants, marina access and Avenida Marginal frontage. Alto de Santa Catarina offers detached villas with elevated Tagus views. Queijas and Porto Salvo provide family townhouses at better entry prices, with direct access to Lagoas Park employers. Carnaxide sits inland with larger gardens. Algés, on the Lisbon border, attracts buyers wanting Oeiras prices with near-city access via the Cascais train line.
Oeiras sits between Lisbon and Cascais and delivers a shorter commute to central Lisbon (20-25 minutes by train or car) than Cascais (35-45 minutes). Per-square-metre pricing is 25-35% below equivalent Cascais stock. International-school access is strong: St Julian's is on the Oeiras-Cascais border and Nova SBE is in Carcavelos. Cascais wins on beach density and gated-community depth; Oeiras wins on price, commute and direct corporate-cluster employment access.
Oeiras is primarily a long-let rather than short-let market. Oeiras Parque and Paço de Arcos corporate long-lets deliver 4.5-5.5% gross yield with multi-year professional tenants. Avenida Marginal seafront long-lets sit at 3.5-4.5% gross given higher entry prices. Queijas family-home long-lets reach 4.5-6% gross. Short-let Alojamento Local rental is possible but far less dominant than in central Lisbon, and occupancy is concentrated in summer rather than year-round.
The Cascais train line runs from Algés through Oeiras, Paço de Arcos and Santo Amaro into Cais do Sodré in central Lisbon. Oeiras station to Cais do Sodré is 18-22 minutes, with departures every 15-20 minutes at peak. Paço de Arcos to Cais do Sodré is around 22-25 minutes. By car via the A5 motorway, Oeiras Parque to Marquês de Pombal is 15-20 minutes outside rush hour. Humberto Delgado Airport is 20-25 minutes by car.
Total closing costs run 7-9% of the purchase price. IMT transfer tax is charged on a sliding 0-7.5% scale, with primary-residence buyers benefiting from favourable bands that help family relocations. Stamp duty is a flat 0.8%. Notary and registry fees add 1-2%. Annual IMI in Oeiras municipality is 0.3% of the rateable value. Legal fees run about 1% plus VAT. Non-resident rental income is taxed at a flat 25%.
Yes. Portugal imposes no nationality-based restrictions on residential property ownership, and Oeiras is no exception. Foreign buyers need a Portuguese NIF tax number, a Portuguese bank account and, typically, an independent advogado. Non-EU buyers relocating through the tech corridor commonly pair acquisition with the IFICI regime for qualifying skilled professionals, which offers a flat 20% Portuguese income tax for ten years. Our team handles the full NIF, bank and legal workflow for international buyers.
Yes. Portugal requires AMI-licensed brokerage for regulated property transactions, and Oeiras' mix of corporate-corridor apartments, gated-community villas and marina-frontage stock benefits from local sourcing, including off-market inventory that rarely reaches portal listings. Our multilingual team works in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish, reflecting the international professional community employed by the Lagoas Park and Taguspark corporate base, and coordinates school, visa and conveyancing workflows end-to-end.
