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.
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!

The premium for your home insurance in Portugal is based on various criteria which help determine a price depending on the risk of a claim:
- What is the surface area to be insured?
- Where is the home to be insured located in Portugal?
- Do you own or rent the home?
- Is it a primary or secondary residence?
- What is the capital of the structure to be insured?
- What is the capital of the contents to be insured (furniture, valuables)?
In Portugal, home insurance is not mandatory for tenants. However, homeowners must always insured their homes at least against the risk of fire.
Home insurance is also mandatory if the property is mortgages: the guarantee is based on the reconstruction value (+/- €1000/m2 in 2017, depending on the area of Portugal).
In Portugal, it is quite easy to find qualified domestic help at a much lower cost than in UK: cleaners, childcare, gardeners, etc. But, did you know that you are required to take out occupational accident insurance to cover your employees when working in your home as well as when they’re travelling to and from work?
