The end of blocked houses

📍 Lisbon🏠 Property🏛️ Government#property-market+3 more

Lisbon faces a paradox: while the city struggles with a housing shortage, thousands of properties remain vacant due to legal disputes, undivided inheritances, and slow eviction processes. New government proposals aim to accelerate evictions for non-payment and allow individual heirs to unlock the sale of inherited properties. These measures seek to remove legal barriers that have kept thousands of homes off the market for decades, ensuring existing housing stock can finally be utilised.
