Buying a Property in Portugal Made Simple with Expert Currency Transfers
Trusted foreign exchange solutions for Portugal property buyers
Move funds to Portugal securely and confidently — from reservation deposits to final completion.
Buying a Property in Portugal
Buying a property in Portugal is a popular choice for UK and international buyers — whether it’s an apartment in Lisbon, a villa in the Algarve, or a long-term relocation. But once your price is agreed in euros, the next step is critical: moving a large sum safely, at the right time, and without losing money to poor exchange rates or bank fees.
Lucid specialises in high-value foreign exchange for Portuguese property purchases, helping you protect your budget, secure competitive rates, and deliver funds smoothly to your solicitor, notary or seller.
Why Property Buyers Choose Lucid for Portugal Money Transfers
We guide you through spot rates, phased transfers or forward contracts, clearly explaining how each option affects your Dubai property budget.
Whether it’s AED for an investment apartment or a multi-million-pound villa in Palm Jumeirah, we manage every transfer with precision, expertise and strict compliance.
Buying property in Portugal often involves multiple payments — reservation deposits, promissory contracts, and completion.
Even small movements in the GBP/EUR rate can add thousands to your final cost. Lucid provides specialist property FX support so every transfer is planned, priced clearly and delivered on time.
All transfers are processed via FCA-regulated partners, with funds safeguarded throughout the process.

A message from our founder, David – over a decade in property foreign exchange and still focused on what truly matters.
Portugal attracts buyers who value lifestyle, stability and long-term value. When you’re transferring large sums to complete a purchase here, clarity and timing matter just as much as the rate itself.
At Lucid, we focus on protecting your value, explaining your options clearly, and making sure every transfer happens exactly when it should.
