Villa in Vilamoura – After the company sale: €1.64m without liquidating the portfolio
An entrepreneurial couple from Munich planned a full move to the Algarve after selling their family business. The property was not to serve as a holiday home but as a permanent residence with enough room for family, friends and occasional business meetings.
In short
What was this case about?

Why is Vilamoura especially attractive for owner-occupiers?
Vilamoura offers modern infrastructure, a high-quality marina, renowned golf courses, excellent medical care and a high quality of life throughout the year.
Can high-quality equipment measures be financed together?
As a rule the Portuguese bank does not co-finance modernisation — it belongs in the overall plan: equity or raising capital against German property.

Exclusive living with a maritime lifestyle
Vilamoura is one of the highest-quality places to live on the Algarve. The modern marina, well-kept residential complexes, renowned golf courses and excellent infrastructure make the resort attractive for many German-speaking buyers who want to move their centre of life permanently to Portugal. Despite the international flair, Vilamoura offers quiet residential areas with a high quality of life throughout the year.
This practical case shows how buying a villa for permanent owner-occupation can be financed in a long-term and economically sensible way.
After selling the company: a villa as a permanent home
An entrepreneurial couple from Munich planned a full move to the Algarve after selling their family business. The property was not to serve as a holiday home but as a permanent residence with enough room for family, friends and occasional business meetings.
After a longer period of market observation, the buyers chose a detached villa in a quiet residential location not far from several of Vilamoura's golf courses.
1.85 m € total investment, 98,000 € in purchase costs
- Purchase price: 1.640.000 €
- Additional costs: 98.000 €
- Renovation: 112.000 €
- Total investment: 1.850.000 €
- Equity: 784.000 €
- Financing required: 1.066.000 €
Holdings and portfolio stay, only part goes into the house
The existing wealth consisted of liquid funds, company holdings and a broadly diversified securities portfolio. Nevertheless, the buyers deliberately wanted to keep a considerable part of their assets invested.
Before moving in, the villa was to be adapted technically and functionally to their personal requirements.
112,000 € for a design kitchen, two baths and building tech
The property was in excellent structural condition. The intended measures mainly served individual equipment and the improvement of living comfort.
Planned were a new designer kitchen with high-quality appliances, the modernisation of two bathrooms, intelligent building automation, more energy-efficient climate control, made-to-measure fitted furniture in the study and the conversion of a separate guest room into a multifunctional office.
As all work was calculated in detail before the purchase contract was concluded, it could be fully incorporated into the total investment.
65 % financed, a large share of the assets stays mobile
The financing was set at around 65 % of the purchase price. This kept a considerable part of the assets flexibly available while preserving a long-term balanced financing structure.
Alongside the purchase price, all acquisition costs and all planned renovation measures were included in the overall plan from the outset — covered from equity, not by the bank loan. A later follow-up financing was therefore not required.
The move went to plan, financial independence intact
Once the work was complete, a high-quality residence was created that meets both the requirements of everyday life today and the long-term plans for retirement.
The buyers were able to move their centre of life to Portugal as planned while preserving their financial independence.
Even at high price levels the full calculation counts
Even in the upper market segment, complete financing planning pays off. Individual adaptations, technical modernisation and acquisition costs considerably influence the actual total investment.
Anyone who accounts for all costs already at the purchase creates long-term planning certainty.
