Long-term rental This property offers a fair return with a gross yield of 3.9%, indicating its suitability for long-term rental. However, with a market valuation slightly above fair value at €280,000, landlords should manage expectations regarding rental income growth. Family rental The apartment is situated in a suburban environment, promising lower crime rates and reasonable access to schools, which are important factors for families. While the property is fairly priced, its condition rating of 56/100 suggests that some maintenance or updates may be required to appeal to potential family renters. Buy-and-hold With a fair valuation and solid neighbourhood ratings, this property could serve as a stable buy-and-hold investment. Its proximity to Porto enhances its desirability, but investors should note the small gap to fair value, which indicates limited immediate appreciation potential. Not ideal for: luxury market, short-term vacation rental.
Economic downturn risk With an economic stability score of 80, there's a possibility of a downturn impacting tenant retention, especially given the tenant stability score of 70, which suggests potential volatility in rental income.
