What does the Real Estate sector expect from the new Government measures presented for Housing? (with Neuza Pereira de Campos)

Neuza Pereira de Campos, Partner in charge of the Real Estate Department at SRS Legal:

"We commend the adoption of some measures, particularly those that address issues such as the simplification of licensing, which have long been advocated by the sector. Nevertheless, the truth is that real estate has become an extremely important economic driver, and it is impossible not to feel some concern about the impact on the market of measures associated, for example, with the short-term rental regime or event the Golden Visa regime, namely in terms of foreign investment. On the other hand, I believe the sector will unanimously agree that a less abrupt and more considerate process for ongoing investments would have had a significant advantage, particularly regarding the external perception of instability and insecurity, which is never good for investment."
