Source: Freepik Author: Redaction In February, activity in the office market was driven by the strong dynamism of demand, with absorption levels more than tripling monthly in both Lisbon and Porto. In accumulated terms, the capital market is the one where the resumption of occupation is most evident, being very close to the barrier of 50,000 m2 to one month from the end of the quarter. The data are released by JLL under the Office Flashpoint, in a statement to SUPERCASA Notícias , a monthly report that presents the performance of the occupational market of offices in Lisbon and Porto. Exhibiting exceptional levels of activity, in February 18 operations were carried out that totaled an office occupation of 42,300 m² in Lisbon, a volume that is six times higher, both compared to the previous month and compared to the same month of 2023. February is also marked by the completion of several businesses involving large areas, which translates into an average area per operation of 2,350 m² and six operations involving spaces greater than 1,000 m². The monthly occupation was impacted by the change of the headquarters of the Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD) to the WELL BE building, in Parque das Nações, which involved an area of 26,700 m2 and is believed to be one of the largest of the year. In any case, other large operations are highlighted, namely the installation of Monday by Urbania in Marquês de Pombal 2 (3,850 m²); and a 2,240 m² outlet operation in zone 4. Mirroring the impact of the change from CGD to the results of the month, zone 5 - Parque das Nações was the most dynamic in this period, concentrating 64% of the monthly absorption, while the Financial Services sector led the occupation side, with an identical share. Likewise, the sale of space accounted for 63% of the occupation, with the lease representing only 35% of the monthly absorption. JLL has served on four of these operations, placing a total area of 5,500 m² this month. In cumulative terms, in the first two months of 2024, 49,060 m² have already been occupied and 30 operations have been completed in the capital’s office market, with the volume of absorption more than quadrupling from the 10,600 m2 taken in the same period. In these two months of 2024 were registered nine operations involving areas greater than 1,000 m², contributing to the average area per operation has increased to 1,635 m². More than half (57%) of the area traded since the beginning of the year is in Parque das Nações (zone 5), with Prime CBD (zone 1) being the second most dynamic axis, with 18% of the occupation. The Financial Services sector was the major driver of demand, ensuring 60% of occupancy. February was also a favorable month for the Porto market, which reached an occupation of 4,850 m² and growth of 233% compared to January and 27% year-on-year. Of the five completed businesses, four were advised by JLL - which guaranteed 98% of the monthly occupancy, 4,740 m² -; three of which involved spaces greater than 1,000 m², boosting the average area per operation to 969 m². In terms of typology, all operations were leased for immediate occupation. Zone 3 - Oporto Business Zone received 57% of the occupation, strongly driven by the installation of two new entities in ICON Offices, namely Fujifilm (1,624m²) and Vodafone (1,046 m²). These two operations were advised by JLL, which was also the consultant responsible for placing i-Charging in an area of 1,730 m² in Marechal 50 (zone 1), in what was the largest business to date. The TMT’s & Utilities sector was the most dynamic on the demand side, ensuring the uptake of 98% of the space transacted this month. The good performance of February raised to 6,300 m² the accumulated occupancy of the Porto office market in 2024, slightly below (- 8%) the level of activity reported in the same period last year (6,900 m²). The number of businesses completed since the beginning of the year decreased by 18%, to a total of nine, of which three comprised areas exceeding 1,000 m². Still, the average area per transaction rose to 700 m². Zones 3 - Zona Empresarial do Porto and 1 - CBD Boavista are the most dynamic, receiving 47% and 45% of the cumulative occupancy, respectively; the TMT’s & Utilities sector is responsible for taking 92% of the spaces. Sofia Tavares, Head of Office Leasing at JLL comments: The results of February confirm our projections for this beginning of the year, with the Lisbon market clearly leading this movement of recovery of demand; which is not surprising, since it was also in the capital that the occupation stopped more in 2023. We are optimistic for 2024 and confident in the evolution of occupation in both cities, which should approach the annual average of recent years.

Source: Freepik Author: Redaction In previous articles, weve already listed the steps you need to take to start the process of selling a house . If you havent read the previous article, go to First step in selling a house: what to do? and find out exactly what awaits you. SUPERCASA Notícias guides you on this journey, explaining step by step everything you need to know about each of the processes - in this case, the strategies you should adopt to increase the value of your property. What should you do to increase the value of your property? This is one of the first things you need to do before going ahead with publicising your property. At this stage, it is essential that you take a critical view of the property you are selling in order to understand exactly which points can be improved and which ones you should use as strong selling points. Look at your property, see what needs to be improved and get to work! Were not talking about very complex works or those that require a large investment, but rather small improvements that will make all the difference when it comes to publicising your property . If you have an ageing, poorly maintained property that needs work, the less value buyers will want to give for it, so if you want a good return on the sale, you need to take these needs into account. No matter how beautiful or comfortable you think your home is, an investor may not look at it in the same way, so its essential to put yourself in the role of the buyer and carry out as many interventions as possible to increase the fair sale value . 1. Ask for help Before embarking on the valuation process, if you dont know exactly where to start, our advice - which will serve you for every step along the way - is to enlist the help of a specialised professional. This is the most effective way to achieve the best results. An experienced property professional will be able to tell you exactly which points are most or least valued by a buyer. So find a real estate agent or agency, arrange a visit to the property with them and ask for advice. As these professionals have their own tools, such as platforms that can generate Comparative Market Analyses , they will be the right people to tell you exactly what you need to do to add value to your home. 2. Improve the propertys energy quality One of the points most appreciated by buyers is the energy efficiency of a property. We live in a time when environmental concerns are growing and greater care is being taken with materials and equipment. If your house isnt brand new, its advisable to upgrade it from an energy point of view, as this will add value and will be a better selling point. Whats more, because the energy certificate is a mandatory document when selling a property, youll have a better chance of a successful sale if you present a document with good energy data, which will pass with flying colours in the assessment of the experts who will be inspecting the efficiency of the house. Here are some examples of how you can improve the energy quality of the house youre selling: - Install energy-efficient windows: this may seem like a large investment, but it will pay off after the sale, as it is one of the interventions that most increases the value of a property; - Install photovoltaic panels: nowadays, through electricity companies, it is possible to contract the installation of this equipment in an accessible and economical way, which also increases the value of the property. 3. Deep clean If its a property you dont live in, its extremely important that you clean it before you start the publicising process. You dont want photos where the house looks unkempt, dark or untidy, as this will affect the quality of the advert for sale and generate less interest. The same applies if its a house you normally live in. Clean and organise it so that it looks bright, tidy and free of many objects - especially personal belongings. So before you present your house to the world by putting it on the market, make sure it looks good and appealing, especially just before the estate agent visits, who might take the opportunity to take photos of it. 4. Painting, renovations and repairs The aim here is not to completely renovate the house or invest in major alterations, because when youre buying a house youll already have some money set aside for work of this calibre. However, minor painting, repairs and interventions do have an influence on the buying process. So if your property has any defects or imperfections that need looking after, its important to take care of them before you advertise your home online . Fix, for example, that dripping tap, the floor thats lifting, or paint the most stained walls. Beautify the house as much as you can, not leaving out the outdoor spaces - if you have a garden, mow the lawn, look after the plants, clear the path and prepare the space for visitors. And dont forget: the front of the property will be the first contact a potential buyer has with your home, so its crucial that you make a good impression! If you follow these tips, youll be one step closer to a quick, easy and carefree process! Prepare the property for sale and, with the help of your property consultant, turn it into an unmissable investment. And once youve completed this phase, youll move on to the next: putting the property on the market. Stay tuned for the next few articles to find out exactly what you need to do!
Source: Freepik Author: Redaction Selling a house is a decision that, first and foremost, should be taken with due care, considering that it is a complex, time-consuming process with a lot of associated bureaucracy. If you still have questions about whether or not you should go ahead with this step, we recommend that you read SUPERCASAs article You have a house you want to sell: what should you take into account? so that you can make the best decisions. If youre really sure you want to sell your house and youre ready to move forward, having all the information you need to proceed to the next stage, this is the guide you need to read for a worry-free first step. What should you do to sell your house? Its normal at this stage to feel some disorientation and fear, however, if youve followed the steps weve already recommended in previous articles, such as advertising on real estate portals, studying the market and partnering with real estate professionals, youre on the right track for a headache-free sale. Despite the usual bureaucratic red tape, which well talk about later in this issue , these are the steps you need to follow for a successful property sale: 1. Come up with strategies to increase the value of the property 2. Evaluate the property to find the sale price 3. Putting the property on the market 4. Speed up visits to the property and find the buyer 5. Gathering documentation to sell the house 6. Formalizing the deal 7. Helping your buyer with the mortgage Lets go through each of these steps step by step. 1. Come up with strategies to enhance the property Look at your property and see what might need to be improved, repaired or refurbished. Small interventions, such as a fresh coat of paint, minor data repairs, or even renovations in strategic rooms, can increase the value of your home and increase your chances of a return. 2. Evaluate the property to find the sale price After the work youve done on your property, the sale price will certainly not be the same. Therefore, try to get your property appraised, which you can request from the Property Appraisal by Infocasa available on SUPERCASA , or through the services of a real estate agency. 3. Putting the property on the market At this stage you should already have the help of a real estate agency, so its important that the consultant youre working with tells you that you need to advertise through the main real estate portals, social networks and through advertising strategies that highlight your house and make it sell faster. 4. Speed up visits to the property and find the buyer Be prepared to let strangers into your property for sale. It will be unavoidable, and the first sign that your marketing is succeeding! 5. Gather documentation to sell the house Have all the necessary documents in order, which will include deeds, energy certificates, building permits or any other relevant paperwork. Youll save time when the time comes to formalize the sale by having all the necessary documentation on hand to move the process forward. 6. Formalizing the business Here, again with the help of a real estate agent, you will formalize the first step of the sale, formalized by signing a promissory contract of sale, where all the terms and conditions are set out in a clear and legally binding manner. 7. Helping your buyer with their mortgage At this stage, your duty is done and your goal is practically complete. However, you can make life easier for your buyer by helping them obtain a mortgage, providing them with all the documents or information requested by the bank for this contract . Youll be helping yourself by speeding up the sales process. These are the basic steps you need to follow to achieve a simplified and effective sales process. Over the next few weeks, discover in depth other valuable information that will be key to selling your home, such as the necessary documentation, the associated costs and the waiting times you will face. Stay with us and finalize your sale with maximum success!
Source: Freepik Author: Redaction The decision behind selling a house is always different from case to case. There are no linear situations, or decisions made based on a single premise. The one question that is almost always certain is: you have a property that you dont live in, that you dont use, is it worth selling? To try and demystify this decision, even before you start the selling process, SUPERCASA is trying to help you understand the advantages of this type of transaction, which is, first and foremost, complex, time-consuming and rather bureaucratic. Do you have a property you can sell? We explain everything you need to know Nowadays, property is one of the most valuable assets in existence . Its an asset that, to begin with, will be worth a good amount of money, that can appreciate in value on the market, and that presents itself as a good long-term business option, either for reinvestment or to get a good return on capital. Given that the property market is very volatile and that it has experienced the normal fluctuations in price rises in recent times, the truth is that between 2013 and 2023 there were more sales, with higher values, and in a shorter space of time. Even so, behind this phenomenon is the cooling of demand , in line with the unstable economy and the pressure of inflation, with high interest rates. This has put many property owners in a vulnerable position, closing doors to new investors with less purchasing power. However, there will always be buyers, and there will always be investment . You need to make decisions, as the owner, to facilitate and speed up the sales process , before launching into the market without any knowledge. 1. Decide quickly If you really want to sell your house, you should put it on the market as soon as possible. Timing is a property sellers best ally, both because of the market situation at the time of the decision to sell and because of the chance that a buyer will be lucky enough to take an immediate interest in your property. However, the best option for achieving the most effective results is to hire the services of a real estate agency, which will better publicise your property and speed up the process . 2. Make market comparisons One of the most important parts is realising exactly how much your property is worth . Before putting it up for sale, you need to be sure of the price you want to sell it for, and that it is fair in relation to market trends. The most effective way to get this figure is by doing a lot of research, looking for properties with similar characteristics and finding out from professionals in the sector. To make the process even simpler, you can try tools such as the Property Appraisal by Infocasa available on the SUPERCASA property portal. 3. Work with a professional in the field The best decisions are those that are made with knowledge of the facts, which is why it is essential that you seek advice and help from professionals in the field . Approach real estate agencies or consultants and ask them for advice and help with the brokerage of your property. By joining forces with these professionals, youll increase the chances of a more successful sale, faster and with a better return. If you follow these three tips, then yes, its worth selling your home. And if youre ready to move forward, check out the list of estate agents featured on SUPERCASA , get in touch with the one that best suits your profile, and start the selling process. With our tips, it will be easy! Next, read: Energy Certificates: how they work and their importance , Tips for remodelling your property without spending a lot of money
Source: Freepik Author: Redaction Nobody said running a business was easy. You need a vocation , an entrepreneurial spirit, the ability to deal with obstacles and adversity , as well as a good dose of discipline and creativity . Especially for a manager who is just starting out, these start-up processes can seem confusing, with everything they involve, and they dont always seem to have an end in sight. However, SUPERCASA Notícias is here to help , starting by introducing you to 5 entrepreneurial terms that you really must understand. And if youre involved in the property market, whether youre an agency manager or working as an individual, these five terms will be even more important, so were offering you solutions and shortcuts to deal with the concerns you may face . 1. Break-Even In Portuguese, ponto de equilíbrio (break-even point) is perhaps the most important point you should start your management with. As the name suggests, it presupposes a balance between costs and profits , which must be maintained in order to grow and make as much profit as possible. We all know that the property market is extremely volatile and that it takes a lot of effort and hard work to not only find properties to keep in your portfolio, but also buyer clients who will invest in what you have to offer, so that you can earn your commission and keep your business stable and profitable . To help you with commission management, assuming you have an agency with more employees, it would be interesting to try management platforms that allow you not only to manage commissions automatically, but also to invoice the entire company , without the need to purchase additional services, without added worries, with maximum ease and brutal efficiency - with the advantage that they can be integrated into your CRM . eGO Real Estate allows you to optimise this, offering essential added value for successful management. 2. Elevator-pitch Because a good idea must be accompanied by a good speech, the elevator-pitch is the ability to present an idea quickly and clearly to both investors and clients. You can apply this method with your potential clients, giving them quick and effective messages via mailshots, short videos or micro-sites designed specifically to attract them and turn their attention to what you have to say. How can you do this? Ideally, with a good campaign module, you can create communication that is as effective as a shotgun blast and saves you time and resources . Youll find this functionality in eGO Real Estate, which in addition to the invoicing tools we talked about above, has solutions that provide you with micro-sites for the properties you have for sale, personalised brochures , mailshots , and promotion of your properties directly on social networks . 3. MEI (Micro individual entrepreneur) This is the term you need to know if you are self-employed and an individual. As a property consultant competing in a competitive market made up of large agencies, its important to have powerful strategies that can help you stand up to the big sharks. To do this, we advise you to look for strong partners with complete solutions that reach all segments of the business, such as eGO Real Estate, which has specific plans for consultants that you can use to your advantage. Another very important platform that can help you with your property search is Infocasa - As Minhas Rotas , which allows you to receive alerts about new properties coming onto the market and always stay one step ahead of the competition. 4. Networking Networking is extremely important for anyone looking to succeed in their field, have a successful business and stay ahead of trends and the latest developments. This implies a good network of contacts and connections that you have to nurture and feed, but the basis will be this: having an online presence. The internet currently plays a major role in the way connections and partnerships are established, and today it is the strongest and most effective means of networking. So if you run a real estate agency or manage your own property portfolio, the first thing you need to do is be present on the main property portals . Dont choose just any property portal, or those that you think can bring you a return and then fail to deliver. Opt for the strongest property portals on the market, those you hear about in the media, such as radio, and those you recognise for their reputation and track record. Choose SUPERCASA and CASASAPO , two portals that will give visibility to your adverts and increase your networking skills when combined with other solutions, which weve already mentioned in this article, such as the communication strategy through eGO Real Estate . 5. ROI (return on investment) ROI, or Return on Investment, is a financial metric that you should consider in order to achieve the maximum possible return, as you will be calculating the money spent and the money invested. In short, this concept lets you know how much money your company earns from each investment made. It may seem irrelevant, but its a key entrepreneurial strategy for your companys financial success, and one that you must understand in order to grow in the market. And how can you calculate it? Simply subtract the gains obtained from the initial investment and then divide that same result by the investment ROI = (Earnings - Initial Investment) / Initial Investment This way, youll realise that every investment you make will have an impact on your profits, so its important to choose good investments with a guaranteed return that can help you grow and expand your business. After everything weve explained in this article, do you still have doubts about where you should invest? Choose the right partner for your property business - one that will provide you with a range of solutions and functionalities that are both useful and essential in the day-to-day management of bureaucracy and communication strategies for your products. Invest in platforms with guaranteed quality and returns, such as eGO Real Estate and the SUPERCASA and CASASAPO property portals. Read also: Do you have a business? Discover 3 marketing trends
Source: Freepik Author: Redaction KREST Real Estate Investments has sold K-Tower, located in Lisbons Parque das Nações, to German investment manager Real IS. The deal was advised by JLL and RRP Advogados , who acted on behalf of the seller in the real estate and legal spheres, respectively, according to a statement issued by the property consultancy to SUPERCASA Notícias . With approximately 15,000 m² of office space, spread over 14 floors, K-Tower stands next to Gare do Oriente, in Parque das Nações, framed by approximately 5,500 m² of green areas and a central square shared with the Moxy hotel (which was also developed by Krest Real Investments). Completed at the end of last year, this is one of the most modern office buildings in Lisbon and stands out for its high standards of sustainability, distinguished by the BREEAM Excelent certification. K-Tower opened its doors with a 100 per cent occupancy rate, with Critical Techworks (80 per cent) and Spaces from the IWG Group (20 per cent) as tenants. João Sacadura, Head of Office Investments at JLL, comments: this will certainly be one of the standout deals in the Portuguese investment market this year, as it involves one of the largest and best office buildings recently completed in Lisbon. It is a high quality asset, with good tenants and in line with the new and demanding requirements in terms of sustainability, and has generated a lot of interest among investors . He adds in the note to SUPERCASA Notícias : the deal also sends an important signal of confidence to the sector in the wake of a less dynamic 2023 in terms of property investment, especially in the office segment. On the one hand, it shows that institutional capital continues to invest in this asset class and in the Portuguese market. On the other hand, it confirms the improvement in sentiment seen at the beginning of the year, which opens up good prospects for the markets performance in 2024 , said João Sacadura. This operation also brings to a close with a golden key all the work carried out by JLL throughout the different stages of K-Towers development. It should be remembered that, in addition to advising on the sale, which was provided by the Capital Markets Department, JLL had also supported KREST Real Estate Investment in the process of leasing the spaces, in a mandate led by the Office Leasing team. In addition, through its construction and design company, Tétris Design & Build, it was also responsible for carrying out the fit-out project for the new Critical Techworks offices, which occupy 80 per cent of the tower.
