<p>2022 was a record-breaking year for Prime Central London (PCL). Buyers spent almost &pound;5.2 billion on homes last year, 9% higher than in 2021, already a strong year, and the highest amount spent for more than ten years. Even in 2014, when sales reached
    &pound;4.94 billion, 5% less was spent than in 2022.</p><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/drt5ol8ck/image/upload/v1673866400/videos/APAC%20Articles/JLL_PCL_Report_Q4_2022.pdf" target="_blank">

        city.</strong></p><p>In the last ten years UK cities have recorded some of the highest increases in new residents. Figures from the 2021 census show that across England &amp; Wales more than 33.6 million people, over 56% of the population, lived in cities, 2 million more
    than in 2011.</p><p>With the pandemic accelerating the adoption of hybrid working some questioned the future of urban living. But the influx of new residents heading for our regional cities proves there is more to city living than just the attraction of a short commute.</p><p>Demand for homes has risen across our Big Six cities this year. Back in 2020 and early 2021 we saw an acceleration in the number of households looking to leave urban areas and escape to the country. Yet 2022 has firmly signalled the return to the city.
    Students and young professionals are returning in their droves. Rents have risen this year across all our Big Six cities and the new homes market, both build-to-sell and build-to-rent has seen activity increase too.</p><p>Help to Buy has been a key source of demand for city centre new build over the last ten years. Across the four English cities, over 13,200 equity loans have been issued on Help to Buy homes since the beginning of the scheme. &nbsp;But with 31 October
    marking the end of Help to Buy registrations nationally we were already anticipating interest from first-time buyers would fall in 2023. Combine this with recent rate rises and we expect the number of first-time buyers could fall further.&nbsp;But
    with fewer households buying homes we anticipate demand for rental properties will increase.</p><p>Almost 100,000 homes have been completed in the city centres of the Big Six in the last ten years.</p><p>Demand for homes has meant prices achieved in the last three years have risen by an average of 14.6%. The JLL Cities index, which values new flats in each city shows prices have risen by between 4.9% and 17.6%.</p><p>Demand for rental properties has increased too. With rents rising by an average of 15.4% across the Big Six. Leeds recorded the highest annual increase in rents, with scarcity of stock pushing average rents for new homes in the city up by more than 20%
    in summer 2022 compared with the same period a year earlier.</p><br /><p><a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5c2aeccd86c64c6abe619f4e73b8b183" target="_blank"><button class="Button primary">View the full report</button></a></p>

<p><strong>Portugal is one of Europe&rsquo;s hottest property markets in more ways than one. It is not only seen as a safe haven that rarely makes the headlines with a stable political and economic landscape; it also has thousands of people relocating to its sunny shores every year.</strong></p><p>Its golden beaches, 1,800 kilometres of coastline and world-class golf courses are major attractions, and Portugal ranks third in the world&rsquo;s most peaceful countries behind Iceland and New Zealand.</p><p>Portugal is also widely viewed as a safe haven for foreign investors, and since 2009, has offered generous tax incentives for foreign buyers which last for 10 years.</p><p>On top of this, it has a very popular Golden Visa programme which offers residency permits through buying property investments.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Golden Visa</strong></p><p>The Portugal Golden Residence Permit Programme is a five-year scheme which offers residency by investing in the country through a number of different ways. Property investment has by far been the most popular route. As a resident you can have visa-free travel across Europe&rsquo;s Schengen Area which includes France, Germany, Italy and Spain and a Portuguese passport grants you visa-free travel to 185 countries.</p><p>Foreign investors also like the fact that Portugal has a quick turnover time to purchase property.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Asians flocking</strong></p><p>Since October 2012, 9,625 investors and 16,382 family members have benefited from the Portugal Golden Visa and 9,042 (90%) of Golden Visa Portugal applications were done through real estate investments. While the Chinese remain the largest single applicant cohort (over 50%), their share of the program is decreasing as other nationalities are applying for the program too.</p><p>The Portugal Golden Residence Permit Programme has been very successful and now the government is removing the cities of Lisbon and Porto from the scheme to focus on other parts of the country. The new rules, which also affect coastal areas, will come in from July 2021 although there is a transition period to complete sales by the end of the year.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Business buzz</strong></p><p>While foreign investors have Portugal in their sights, it is also attracting plenty of talent particularly in the technology sector. Many international companies have set up regional headquarters in the country, such as Google which built a technology hub near Lisbon in 2018. Car-making giant Volkswagen also has major manufacturing operations in Portugal.</p><p>Up until the Covid pandemic which affected tourism the world over, Portugal&rsquo;s tourist numbers had been very healthy given its high number of sunshine hours. In fact, the southwestern coastline of Algarve gets more sun each year than all of Europe. As its tourism sector grew, this led to a scarcity of rental properties which drove rental yields up. This is good news for investors with properties in tourist hot spots.</p><p><img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1619190836/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/cimz9jp5votc8qw1orez.jpg" width="670" /></p><p>Algarve, Portugal</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Sun, sea and golf</strong></p><p>The Algarve is one of Portugal&rsquo;s most popular destination, drawing sun-seeking tourists, beach lovers and golfers alike. One tourist hotspot is the Algarve, home to one of Portugal&rsquo;s most prestigious golf resorts. The 5,000km stretch of coast is known for its golden beaches, golfing and picturesque fishing villages along with an array of bars and restaurants.&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1619190845/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/b2gptva8jmvqunsr0lms.jpg" width="670" /></p><p>Douro, Portugal</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Lisbon and Porto</strong></p><p>If the objective is exclusively housing, you need to meet your personal preferences. A house in the Algarve is compatible with warm climate lovers, Porto is for those who like a mild climate and Lisbon is the best city to develop a professional career.</p><p>If the objective is the return on investment, there is a clear advantage in one of the options.</p><p><strong>Portugal&rsquo;s two main cities, Lisbon and Porto, have been the main destinations of foreign investment given they are seen as a trendy hotspots while being far cheaper to buy property in compared to other cities in Europe. &nbsp;</strong></p><p>Lisbon is one of Europe's smaller capitals with properties there inexpensive in comparison to London, Paris or Madrid.</p><p>The main driver for investors used to be quality of life, its historical heritage, natural beauty and over 280 days of sunshine. But it&rsquo;s a very interesting market for putting your savings and investments now too. You can get a return both on rental yield and in capital appreciation.</p><p>Porto has the same dynamic in terms of lifestyle. But it&rsquo;s also the research and development hub of the country. It&rsquo;s where much industry is based, and most of the money from Portugal&rsquo;s wealthy families is concentrated here.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1619190855/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/mvjzaojm0cvtucs64skt.jpg" width="670" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>For investors looking for extra capital appreciation from their investments, Porto is the natural answer. House prices there are still 30% less than those in Lisbon, it has a lower square metre price to buy, so you have higher potential for investment returns.</strong></p><p><em>&lsquo;Many investors start enquiring about Lisbon. But when they ask for something that has a higher yield or capital appreciation potential, we say: yes, we do. In Porto&rsquo;</em>&nbsp;&ndash; says Filippo Simonato, Residential Business Development Manager for JLL, based in Lisbon.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Property Market</strong></p><p>While property prices have been rising modestly during the pandemic, Portugal has seen above average increases. Prices rose by almost 6% during 2020, according to the Idealista Price Index.</p><p>According to JLL&rsquo;s research&nbsp;<em>&rsquo;Investir no Mercado de Arrendamento&rsquo;</em>&nbsp;<em>(Investing in the Rental Market),</em>&nbsp;the residential rental yields in Lisbon are almost always above 3% and in Porto 4%; proof of a market where supply is scarce and vacancies tends to be absorbed quickly. It is a market with enormous potential for growth and income generation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Who is buying &amp; renting?</strong></p><p><strong>Portugal is still proving popular with overseas buyers, and 57% of purchases are currently made by international buyers. While Asian buyers have been very active, these foreign-buyer purchases are spread across 47 different nationalities</strong>.</p><p>Rental incomes have softened a little during the pandemic, although this is believed to be only temporary. Some landlords have put their holiday homes up for rent on the local market while they wait for tourism to return.</p><p><img alt="" src="https://jll-global-gdim-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/t_ip-image-optimization/v1619190864/olmwebcontents/ip/prod/x42fhuyyqi4iiozgebnj.png" width="670" /></p><p>Conde de Lima, Lisbon</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When tourists start to return to the many holiday hotspots Portugal has to offer, property owners should be well placed to reap the benefits, along with the tax and residency perks the country has to offer.</p><p>If you are keen to find out more about investment opportunities in Portugal and learn more about the Golden Visa Program, please contact JLL International Residential:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Christine Wong (REN06667)</p><p>M: +6012 908 6318</p><p>E:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:wong.christine@ap.jll.com">wong.christine@ap.jll.com</a></p>

<p>Not only Portugal is ideal for investors looking for stable returns on investment at a range of property price points, but the tax regime is very attractive. It offers a low effective tax burden, combined with a special Non-Habitual Residents tax regime, the free remittance of funds, the absence of inheritance and gift tax and no wealth tax.</p><p>Moreover, the residence permit scheme (granting travels within the Schengen area) and the possibility to apply for Portuguese nationality and, consequently, a EU passport, make Portugal a very attractive location.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The most popular Golden Visa program in Europe</strong></p><p>In 2012, Portugal approved special legislation designed to attract foreign investment, by offering a fast way for property investors (non-EU citizens) to receive a residence permit, making it a privileged entry into Europe and allowing such permit holders free circulation in Schengen countries.</p><p>The Portugal Golden Visa program has proven to be the most popular scheme in Europe with investors attracted to its flexibility and benefits. Since its inception in 2012, thousands of families have successfully relocated to Portugal. &nbsp;An investment of &euro;500,000 (or &euro;350,000 reduced option) in real estate in Portugal will gain a residency permit for a family including dependent children.</p><p>In 2019, more than half of all real estate transactions in Portugal were purchased by foreigners and Portuguese real estate agencies have been actively wooing Chinese and Asian buyers.</p><p>According to a South China Morning Post article, Hong Kong is tipped to become one of the top sources of foreign investment in Portuguese property as residents seek a European haven from the civil unrest that has rocked the city since May 2019.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>What are the main advantages of the Portugal Golden Visa?</strong></p><p>The holders of a Portuguese Golden Visa have many advantages:</p><ul><li>You do not need a visa to enter Portugal or travel through Europe (Schengen Area).</li><li>You can live and work in Portugal, even with residency in a different country.</li><li>Portuguese residency can be extended to family members.</li><li>It has extremely low minimum stay periods compared to other residency / citizenship programmes.</li><li>You can attain permanent residency after five years.</li><li>You can attain citizenship after six years.</li></ul><p>The residence permit is granted for a period of one year, renewable for two successive periods of two years, and requires the maintenance of the investment for a minimum period of five years and the presence in Portuguese territory for 7 days (consecutive or not) in the first year and 14 days (consecutive or not) in the subsequent periods of two years. The authorization may be extended to the investor&rsquo;s family members and the residence permit may be granted on a permanent basis after the initial period of five years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Investment types</strong></p><p>This type of investment includes:</p><ul><li>Commercial or residential properties.</li><li>Real estate acquired in co-ownership, as long as the investor&rsquo;s share is at least the minimum indicated value.</li><li>Properties that are acquired individually or through sole proprietorship companies in which the investor is a partner.</li><li>Leased properties.</li><li>Properties encumbered, by the amount that exceeds the minimum amount of the investment.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Portugal Golden Visa Changes in 2021</strong></p><p><em>Source: Cruz Roque Semiao Advogados (CRS Lawyers)</em></p><p>Only this month, the XXII Portuguese Constitutional Government has finally established the revisions and changes on the Residence Permit for Investment Regime (Golden Visa), by means of the Law-Decree no. 14/2021 of 12th February, which represents the 8&ordm; alteration to the Law no. 23/2007 of 4th July (widely known as &ldquo;Foreigners Law&rdquo;).</p><p>The main goal, according to said alterations, is to make this regime more and more directed preferentially to the investment in the interior territories, to investment in job creation and to the urban and cultural heritage requalification.</p><p>With that in mind, the first essential and most relevant decision that was made was that<strong>&nbsp;these changes will only come into force/into effect on 1</strong><strong>st&nbsp;</strong><strong>January 2022</strong>, meaning that foreign investors have until 31st December 2021 to invest in the exact same terms and conditions, all over the country, towards their Golden Visa Applications.</p><p>As of 1st January 2022, the following changes, which will represent an increase in the minimum investment amounts, as well as affect the geographical area of application in the real estate investment for habitation purposes, will apply:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>1. Real Estate Investment</strong><strong>:</strong></p><p>a. In the amount of &euro; 500.000,00, for habitation Purposes, will only be allowed in the interior of Portugal, Azores, and Madeira.</p><p>b. In the amount of &euro; .350.000,00, with rehabilitation investment, for habitation Purposes, will only be allowed in the interior of Portugal, Azores, and Madeira.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>2. Capital Transfers</strong><strong>:</strong></p><p>a. The amount of investment for the Capital transfer with a value equal to or above 1 million Euros, changes to a minimum of 1.5 million euros.</p><p>b. The amount of investment for the Capital transfer for investing in research activities conducted by public or private scientific research institutions involved in the national scientific or technologic system changes from &euro;350.000,00 to a minimum value of &euro; 500.000,00.</p><p>c. The minimum amount on the Private Equity Funds investments, changes from &euro; 350.000,00 to a minimum value of &euro; 500.000,00.</p><p>d. The minimum amount on the capital transfer for incorporation of a Company in Portugal, combined with the creation of five (5) permanent working jobs, OR for the reinforcement of the share capital of an existing company in Portugal, with the creation or maintenance of said jobs, changes from &euro; 350.000,00 to a minimum value of &euro; 500.000,00.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In view of the above, and according to the remaining legal diploma that was published, it is essential to highlight that:</p><ul><li>Foreign Investors will have until 31st December 2021 &ndash; almost a whole year &ndash; to submit their Golden Visa application, taking advantage of the current Law as it is and was from the past years (with the same minimum amounts, on the same locations, and with the same requirements).</li><li>As long as these applications, by the Investors, are submitted before the 1st January 2022, client(s) can benefit for the same rules and have their residence permits granted, even if the actual approval of the process happens after that date.</li><li>The geographical limitations that will happen on the real estate investments, by &ldquo;pushing&rdquo; the investment for habitation purposes to the interior and the Islands, will still give a lot of interesting and potential possibilities in terms places to invest in Portugal, which will help on the development of those areas.</li><li>On the real estate investments, only the ones for habitation purposes will be affected, meaning that for commercial/services or other purposes foreign investors will still be able to invest in the whole country, namely in Lisbon and Porto, just like before, after the 1st January 2022.</li><li>Family members can still benefit from the Family Reunification applications and benefits, even after 1st January 2022, as long as their Main Applicant/Investor has submitted his/her application before that (under the same law).</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>Gustavo Machado Dias associate lawyer of CRS Lawyers</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The new regime comes into force on January 1, 2022 and is applicable to all applications for Residence Permits trough an Investment Activity (ARI) presented from this date forward.</strong></p><p>But until the regulation takes off, there is still a window of opportunity to utilise the popular Golden Visa programme via property investment.</p><p>This new regime does not affect the processes in progress and which have been approved under the law currently in force.

<p>Tokyo is one of Asia&rsquo;s most exciting and dynamic cities, and home to 14 million people. As the capital of Japan, it is the economic and political heart of the country.
