INE: Local housing price statistics, Q1 2026 (with parish tables) (2026-07) An investor wants to buy a flat in Chiado or Príncipe Real and register it as a new holiday let (AL). What is the accurate advice in 2026?
- No problem, Lisbon reopened new AL registrations everywhere in 2024
- Santo António and Misericórdia are in absolute AL containment, so new holiday lets are barred in principle and he should plan for long-term or corporate lets
- He can register it if the condominium agrees in writing
- AL is allowed if he lets the flat for at least 120 nights a year
Lisbon's amended AL regulation, in force since 6 December 2025, puts parishes with an AL ratio of 10% or more in absolute containment, where new registrations are banned save narrow exceptions. Santo António (Príncipe Real) and Misericórdia (Chiado) are both in that category.
