We Help Foreign Buyers Navigate Portugal
Buying property in Portugal is different.
The banks assess you differently.
The costs aren't structured the way you expect.
The process has steps that don't exist elsewhere.
And under Simplex law, the responsibility for verifying everything is yours.
We make it understandable.
We explain how everything works—no jargon, no mystery.
We give you free tools to calculate real numbers.
And when tools aren't enough, we connect you with professionals who can help.
Free Tools That Give You Real Answers
All free. All transparent. No catch.
Check the Price
Calculate True Costs
Know Your Budget
The Limits
Tools show you what data can show you.
Budget calculations.
Price comparisons.
Cost estimates.
Market averages.
But real estate isn't just data.
The building might not match the documents.
The condition might not match the photos.
The neighborhood has character that statistics can't capture.
That's why tools are free—and why we connect you with professionals when you need human eyes on the ground.

Access Properties Before They're Listed
The best properties don't always hit the portals.
Sellers want serious buyers who understand the process and can actually close.
When you engage with our platform—use the tools, build your profile—you prove you're that buyer.
Off-market access is available to registered users.
Create your account, build your profile, and browse exclusive listings before they're publicly listed.
Less competition. Earlier access.
Built for Foreign Buyers
This platform is for you if:
- You're buying property in Portugal from abroad
- You want to understand the process before jumping in
- You value transparency over sales pitches
- You'd rather use free tools than pay for basic information
- You want professionals who work with international buyers
This isn't for you if:
- You're a Portuguese resident who knows the system
- You want someone to do everything for you without staying involved
- You're looking for the cheapest option regardless of quality
Buyers Who Understood First
“I used the tools for three months before even contacting an agent. By the time I made an offer, I knew exactly what I could afford, what the property was worth, and what it would really cost. No surprises.”
“The Simplex Risk Score flagged an enclosed balcony we hadn't even noticed. Saved us from buying a property with €15,000 in legalization costs.”
“The mortgage broker match was perfect. Someone who'd worked with American buyers before and knew exactly which banks to approach.”
