Home insurance in Portugal

Q: Is home insurance mandatory in Portugal?

Insuring your home is not mandatory in Portugal for tenants. The owner - landlord (non-occupying owner) is required to take out at least “fire-horizontal” insurance covering the structure only. Thus, INOV Expat always recommends taking out home insurance while residing in Portugal. In fact, besides insuring your property, this home insurance will also cover your civil liability against any damages caused to third parties. More than just insurance, multi-risk home insurance in Portugal is a guarantee for protection and peace of mind, whether you’re a tenant or owner.

Q: I rent my home in Portugal. Should I take out insurance for it?

In Portugal, tenants are not required to take out home insurance but must, however, ensure the homeowner has actually contracted mandatory fire insurance. But, be aware! Without home insurance, your property and any damages you may cause while renting or even your civil liability are not covered by any guarantees! So, in order to avoid any conflicts with the owner or your neighbours in the event of an incident, INOV Expat recommends you take out home insurance to also cover the civil liability of all occupants in the home.

Q: Is civil liability covered by my home insurance in Portugal?

All our home insurance policies include civil liability cover: it’s actually one of the main guarantees that come with home insurance policies. Civil liability insurance covers all members of your family in the event of physical or material damages caused to third parties. Home insurance in Portugal is a guarantee for peace of mind in your home!
