Located on largo da Ribeira Velha, Alcácer do Sal (Santa Maria do Castelo, Santiago), Santa Susana parish, Alcácer do Sal municipality, Setúbal district.

The valuation. The asking price of €275,000 is significantly above the fair value of €87,465, representing an overvaluation of €187,535 (68.2%). This property is priced too high given its current market conditions. Buy-to-flip angle. Given the property’s condition rating of 32/100, a buy-to-flip strategy would require substantial renovation to potentially attract buyers at a higher resale price. Quick turnarounds may prove challenging in this rural market. Buy-to-let angle. With an estimated gross yield of 3.5% (~€802/month), the rental income strategy may yield moderate cash flow; however, the property’s outdated finishes could deter long-term tenants. This is a long-term buy-and-hold opportunity rather than a lucrative rental option.

largo da Ribeira Velha
Area baseline €150,864 + condition -€56,438 + location -€578 = modelled fair value of €87,465 (€1,041/m²), a €187,535 (68.2%) gap versus the €275,000 asking price.
Buy-and-hold This property, priced at €275,000, is significantly above its fair value of €87,465, indicating a gap of 68.2%, which suggests it is overpriced. With a gross yield of only 3.5% and a condition rating of 32/100, it lacks the potential for profitable long-term appreciation and might not deliver the expected return on investment. Long-term rental With a fair value substantially lower than the asking price, this property does not present a financially sound opportunity for long-term rental as it is overpriced at €275,000. The low condition score of 32/100 and a neighborhood rating of 49/100 further highlight the risks associated with maintaining tenant quality and achieving competitive rental yields in this area.
High Economic Risk The property has a low economic stability score of 30/100, indicating a potentially unstable market that may affect property value and rental income negatively.
