The dwellings-sold bars print their source, INE indicator code and licence under the chart. Sold prices and the count of dwellings sold come from INE’s house-price statistics; the bank-valuation figure is INE’s median valuation used by credit institutions.
What are the rules and costs in Freixo de Espada à Cinta?
Prices tell you what it costs to buy in Freixo de Espada à Cinta; the rules and costs below tell you what governs a purchase and what it costs to hold.

Can you run a short-term rental here?
Short-term letting (Alojamento Local, AL) is regulated at the municipal level in Freixo de Espada à Cinta, as it is across Portugal: the national Alojamento Local regime (Decreto-Lei 128/2014, as amended) sets registration and operating requirements, while each câmara municipal can designate zonas de contenção that suspend or restrict new AL registrations. Restriction status varies by municipality and by parish, and changes over time.
This is general information, not legal advice — confirm the current status for a specific address with the Freixo de Espada à Cinta câmara municipal before assuming a property can be operated as AL.
What about annual property tax (IMI)?
Municipal Property Tax (IMI) is levied annually by the Freixo de Espada à Cinta council within a band set nationally, so the exact rate depends on the municipality and the property’s taxable value (VPT). We do not print a rate we cannot source: any specific figure we publish is drawn from the official register with its reference year, never estimated here.
