A licence is permission to build, not a finished home: most are completed one to three years later, and some never are. INE publishes licensing three months at a time, so four windows make a year.

Affordability

At the median sale price, a 90 m² home costs €62,010. With 10% down and a 30-year mortgage, the payment is €235 a month. Banco de Portugal caps it at 50% of a household's net income.

Buy or rent

Owning a 90 m² home costs less each month than renting it. Owning counts interest, running costs and the return the deposit could earn, at the median sale price. Repaying the loan is saving, so it is left out.
