Real estate has changed. The state has not

▤ Summary

The article argues that Portugal’s real estate market has changed far faster than the public administration that supports property transactions. It says buyers, sellers, and investors still face fragmented data, contradictory public information, slow approvals, and heavy bureaucracy. It calls for a deeper digital transformation of the sector, including integrated databases, better interoperability across public agencies, and clearer accountability for real estate professionals. The piece also frames the upcoming revision of mediation law as a chance to modernize the market and improve competitiveness.
