Long-term rental This property is overpriced with a significant gap of 43.4% compared to its fair value, leading to a gross yield of 0%. The neighbourhood's average rating of 65/100 indicates limited tenant quality and demand for long-term rentals in this suburban area near Lisbon. Family rental With a fair value of €127,398, this house is priced well above market expectations, making it an unattractive option for family rentals. The average condition score of 77/100 does not compensate for the lack of yield and inflated price in the current residential market. Buy-and-hold Given the property’s fair value and 0% gross yield, holding this investment is likely to result in financial strain rather than growth due to its overpriced status. Potential appreciation seems limited in a neighbourhood with a tenant quality rating of only 65/100, affecting long-term viability. Not ideal for Short-term vacation rental, Luxury market, Student housing.
Economic and Tenant Stability Risk: With both the economic and tenant stability scores at 65/100, there is a significant risk of fluctuating income levels and potential tenant turnover, which may impact overall cash flow and profitability.
