Real Estate Leasing grows in 2016

These figures follow the 33% growth observed in 2015, having reached a total volume of 130 million euros in real estate transactions that year.

These results confirm that leasing is a financing solution, which, due to its advantages and flexibility in terms of contractual conditions, is increasingly a solution to the liking of companies and private customers.

Real Estate Leasing is characterized by:

• A term (for companies the term can vary between 5 to 15 years),
• An initial entry (20% is usual)
• A residual value (usual values between 2% to 10%).

We highlight some of the advantages of Real Estate Leasing:

• Tax advantages;
• Exemption from payment of IMT in the eventual transfer of the property, at the end of the contract;
• Exemption from Stamp Duty related to interest and expenses with credit opening;
• Payment of part of the financing (residual value) at the end of the contract;
• Less administrative and financial costs;
• Option to finance the value of IMT and other expenses;
• Option to assign the contractual position to third parties;
• Negotiation flexibility of the type and value of rents.
