How virtual staging works in Portugal

Portuguese property is marketed on a few national portals, and many buyers — including international buyers — shortlist online before visiting. Empty flats and new builds benefit from staging.

Portugal has required the energy class in every sale or rental ad since 2013, with significant fines for leaving it out.
