Residential property in Madeira averages $4,378 per square metre. That makes it the 21st most expensive of the 83 markets in the set.
What a buyer pays in Madeira
The $4,378 figure is a regional average across all residential property types, which flattens a wide spread — the most sought-after areas run well above it, the rest of the region well below. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 11.2% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $49,034 on top of the $437,800 purchase price. That is close to the 10.2% median across the set.
What it earns
A square metre lets for about $18.7 a month. Against a purchase price of $4,378 per square metre that is 5.1% gross, before tax. Both figures come from the same source and the same period, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. It ranks 58th of 88 markets by gross yield. Rental income is taxed at 10–25% — the rate is not a single number here. That is the difference between 3.8% and 4.6% net on the same property. The 4.6% net figure we publish uses 10%.
Who can buy in Madeira
Freehold, no restrictions. That is the rule a foreign buyer meets first, not legal advice — check the current position locally before you commit.
