Testimonials
What our buyers say
Google Maps
“We dealt with Deb when buying our apartment in Vilas Alvas. She was so much more than just an estate agent. Helping us with the best cost options , solicitors, money transfer companies , places to go to buy home furnishings, towels etc. She was straight, honest and totally trustworthy. Since our purchase we have remained in touch and still go to her for advice on many things in the Algarve not just property advice. She will go the extra mile to help you. I was a company owner so reputation counts for a lot. Deb is first class in all aspects and the life we have now in Vilas Alvas is just great. If we go again to move to a house/villa i would want Deb involved with us. I hope this gives you some confidence when dealing with her and her company. We had never met before our purchase so this is not just a biased review.”

“We had a great experience, with ICON Property. From the beginning the whole process felt easy, professional and most importantly personal. A special thank you to Debbie, who was incredibly helpful, responsive and genuinely lovely to deal with. She helped us navigate what can sometimes be a complex Portuguese property system always taking the time to explain things clearly and make sure we knew what was happening. She really went the mile throughout the whole process and made everything feel much more straightforward. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ICON Property and especially Debbie to anyone looking for an professional team.”
“We flew over not really knowing where to start. ICON listened, showed us exactly the kind of villa we'd described, and handled all the paperwork. Honestly, painless.”

Michael Torres

Buying & LegalGetting a Mortgage in Portugal as a Non-Resident: Rates, Deposits and ApprovalInternational demand for Algarve homes has stayed strong into 2026, and a growing share of buyers are no longer paying all cash. Lenders have reopened to overseas clients, and arranging a mortgage in Portugal as a non-resident is now a practical route for many international families who want to keep capital working at home while they invest on the coast. The figures in this guide are market ranges as of 2026, with the headline rate benchmarked against Banco de Portugal data, so please treat them as guidance rather than a fixed quote.Read article
Buying & LegalIMI Property Tax in Portugal: What Algarve Homeowners Pay in 2026Every homeowner in the Algarve receives one predictable letter a year, and it comes from the Câmara Municipal. That letter is your IMI, the Imposto Municipal sobre Imóveis, Portugal's annual property tax. It is one of the most misunderstood numbers in Portuguese real estate, partly because the IMI property tax in Portugal is not a single national figure but a local rate that changes from council to council. This 2026 guide explains how IMI is calculated, what Algarve homeowners actually pay, when it is due, who is exempt, and how the separate AIMI applies to higher-value homes.Read article
Buying & LegalThe True Cost of a Private Pool in the Algarve: Install, Upkeep and ValueA pool sells the dream. In a region with around 300 days of sunshine, a private pool is close to the default expectation for a villa, and the photograph of blue water against white walls is what stops the scroll. But a pool also carries a running cost that most buyers underestimate, sometimes badly, and a paperwork requirement that many forget entirely. Understanding the true private pool cost in the Algarve, from the day you install it to every year you own it, is the difference between a feature you enjoy and a bill that nags. This guide breaks down installation, licensing, upkeep and the honest truth about value.Read article
