Buyer notes
Solid AL fundamentals and south-coast sun. Ravine flooding has historic precedent - the 2010 Madeira floods hit Ribeira Brava severely. Check flood-zone overlays before buying near the river.
Flagship areas
Before offering. Municipality-level data is updated quarterly. Price-per-m² figures reflect listed inventory on major portals - realised transaction prices often differ. AL status depends on the current municipal câmara decision under DL 76/2024 - verify via the câmara website before relying on it. Always cross-check with a Portuguese property lawyer.
