Portugal Golden Visa — made simple
We guide international buyers through the Golden Visa process and help them find their home in Lagos, Algarve.
Property purchases no longer qualify. Since 2023, the Golden Visa requires a fund investment — not real estate. Lagos Homes helps you do both separately.
The Lagos Homes Approach
Two steps. One advisor.
01
Golden Visa
Invest in a qualifying fund
We connect you with a qualifying fund partner — professionally managed, fully eligible. Minimum 500,000 EUR. No real estate ties.
02
Your Home
Buy your home in Lagos
Browse our curated portfolio of villas, apartments and townhouses in the Western Algarve — one of Europe's most sought-after property markets.

Local Lagos expertise
We know every neighbourhood, realistic price, and what to look for as an international buyer in Lagos.
International buyer network
Trusted by buyers from the UK, US, Brazil, South Africa, and the Gulf region.
BOUTIQUE AGENCY
If you're considering buying property in Portugal — whether for relocation, a holiday home, or investment — local guidance makes all the difference.
​
At Lagos Homes, we help international buyers navigate the Portuguese property market with clarity, honest advice, and access to the full market.
​
I’m Ben, originally from Berlin, now based in Lagos. Having gone through the process myself, I understand the challenges international buyers face — from identifying the right opportunities to avoiding common pitfalls.
​
My goal is simple: help you find the right property and make the buying process in Portugal smooth, transparent, and successful.
