NHR is gone. What replaced it, and what it means for buyers in 2026.
A practical read on the IFICI regime, capital gains exposure for non-residents, and the structures still worth using.
Read guideA modern Algarve estate agency. We bring serious buyers and considered sellers together — with the local intelligence to price, position and close on the right terms.
37.8 is a full-service Algarve estate agency. We price properly, market beautifully and qualify carefully — so the right buyer meets the right home, and every transaction closes cleanly.
Microclimate, infrastructure, planning, flood risk, road noise. The detail behind the postcode.
We map your brief against on- and off-market stock from a network we've spent years building.
Honest valuations, real comparables, rental yield modelling. No glossy guesses.
Clear fees, honest advice, and a single point of contact from listing or first viewing through to keys.
A selection of our current listings across the Algarve. Every property is independently surveyed, priced against live comparables and prepared for sale with full documentation ready for a serious buyer.
The Algarve is not a single market. Microclimate, planning, demographics and demand vary hugely across 150 kilometres. Here is how we frame it.
Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Almancil. Mature luxury, gated resorts, the strongest rental floor in Portugal.
Albufeira to Carvoeiro. Cliffs, coves and the broadest mid-market stock. Liquid resale, high rental velocity.
Lagos, Burgau, Salema, Sagres. Wilder, cooler, surf-led. Strong appreciation, tighter planning.
Tavira, Olhão, Cacela Velha. Authentic Portugal, slower pace, the smart-money entry point of the last decade.
Inland hills behind Loulé and Silves. Land, quintas and privacy at a fraction of coastal pricing.
Monchique and Caldeirão highlands. Cooler summers, forested, growing slowly with off-grid and wellness buyers.
Buying agents are not competitors — they're allies. We co-broke openly with every AMI-licensed buyer's agent on the Algarve, because the only outcome that matters is the right home finding the right owner.
Bring your client. We share commission on standard market terms, with full transparency from day one.
No negotiation games, no last-minute surprises. Our split with introducing agents is published and protected in writing.
Each listing has a named agent at 37.8. You'll deal with the same person from first viewing to escritura.
Floor plans, surveys, planning history, energy certificates — sent within the hour, not the week.
We sell a small number of carefully chosen Algarve properties each year. Sharp photography, honest pricing, qualified viewings — and a team that speaks your buyer's language whether they're in Lisbon, London or LA.
Long-form notes from our research desk. The stuff most agents won't tell you — because we don't have to sell you anything.

37.8 is a modern estate agency based on the Algarve coast. We were built by people who'd bought, sold, restored and lived through enough Portuguese transactions to know that the market deserved a sharper, quieter way of doing things.
Today we represent a carefully curated portfolio of villas, plots, restorations and investment properties across the Algarve — and the buyers we bring to them. AMI-licensed, fully bilingual, and proud of how rarely we have to discount.
Real comparables, real demand. We'd rather list once than chase the market down.
Our team lives between Lagos and Tavira. We know the streets.
Editorial photography, drone, film, and a global buyer network.
We take on a limited number of mandates. Quality of stock matters.
Whether you're searching for the right Algarve home or ready to list one, start with a short conversation. No pressure, no fluff — just a clear view of what we'd do next.
