Tools

• compare_municipalities

  Compares two to five Portuguese municipalities side by side, with the same figures for each as `municipality_stats`. Use it when choosing between places; for a single municipality use `municipality_stats`, and for the areas inside one city `where_to_live`. Names that point at the same municipality count once, and fewer than two distinct ones are refused (bad_count). One unknown or ambiguous name refuses the whole comparison.

  shallow
• construction_barometer

  Reports how much is being built in Portuguese municipalities. It gives flatin.pt's monthly count of building-works cases entering licensing, for the municipalities we collect, and INE's yearly licensed buildings and new dwellings for any of the 308. Use it for building activity; for a municipality's other figures use `municipality_stats`, and for new-build projects with prices `search_newbuilds`. Without `municipality` it returns every municipality we collect and the fixed-panel index. `measure` and `granularity` change only our own series. A case is not a licence granted and not a building.

  shallow
• get_newbuild

  Returns one new-build project in Portugal by slug or page URL. It gives units and prices per typology, price history, delivery promises and how often they moved, building permits, the developer, the purchase cost and what is nearby. Use it after `search_newbuilds`, which gives the slug. The purchase cost is at the cheapest available unit or the developer's from-price, for a buyer tax resident in Portugal; for a non-resident or another price use `imt_calculate`. `primary_home` and `buyer_is_young` change only the purchase cost. An unknown slug is refused (not_found). Cite the page URL, given in all seven site languages.

  shallow
• glossary_lookup

  Explains a Portuguese home-buying or tax term (CPCV, escritura, VPT…) from the flatin.pt glossary. It gives what the term means, where it comes up when buying, and the article of law with a link to the official text. Use it to define a term; it calculates nothing: for purchase taxes use `imt_calculate`, for the yearly tax `imi_annual_cost`. Without `term` it lists all terms. A term without a translation comes in English; an unknown one is refused with close spellings, if any.

  shallow
• imi_annual_cost

  Yearly IMI for an urban property (prédio urbano) with a given taxable value (VPT) in one municipality, at the municipality's urban rate. VPT is the tax authority's valuation, not the purchase price: ask the user for it instead of using the price.

  shallow
• imi_rate

  The yearly property tax (IMI) rate in one Portuguese municipality, by name or four-digit code. Collected from the Autoridade Tributária portal and checked line by line for all 308 municipalities. Where a municipality sets no single rate (it is set per parish), the answer says so instead of returning zero.

  shallow
• imt_calculate

  What buying a home in Portugal costs on top of the price: IMT (property transfer tax), Imposto do Selo (stamp duty) and the published price of the property registration. Official 2026 tables, including the reduced IMT table and the stamp duty deduction for buyers aged 35 or under. Both taxes are charged on the higher of the contract price and the VPT: pass `vpt` when it is known. Returns amounts in cents and formatted in euros, with the source of the tables.

  shallow
• municipality_stats

  Returns the key figures of one of Portugal's 308 municipalities, with the source and date of each official figure. They are the IMI rate and history, INE median sale price per m² (actual sales, not asking prices), purchasing power, population, licensed new dwellings, building-works cases and our new-build count. Use it for one municipality; to compare two to five use `compare_municipalities`, for areas inside a city `where_to_live`, and for building activity by month `construction_barometer`. A figure that is not published is null, not estimated. A name matching two municipalities is refused with candidates.

  shallow
• request_consultation

  How to put the user in touch with a licensed real estate agency in Portugal: returns the form link and the GDPR (RGPD) consent text in the user's language. The request is submitted by the person, not on their behalf.

  shallow
• search_newbuilds

  Searches the published new-build projects (empreendimentos) in Portugal on flatin.pt. Use it to find projects; for one project's units, purchase cost and surroundings use `get_newbuild` with its slug, and for how much is being built in a municipality `construction_barometer`. With `typology`, the budget applies to those typologies' prices; projects without a published price drop out when a budget is given. Pass next_offset as `offset` for the next page. A misspelt filter is refused, not ignored. Prices are as checked on developers' pages or agency listings, with the date.

  shallow
• subscribe_digest

  Subscribes the person's email to new-build projects matching a filter (daily) or to new construction licensed in one municipality (weekly), by double opt-in. Use it when the person asks to be told about new projects; to have an agency contact them use `request_consultation`, and to see what is on sale now `search_newbuilds`. Ask the person first: it only sends a confirmation email, and nothing is active until they click its link. `city` is required for construction and `parish` works only there; `typology`, the prices and `on_sale` work only with new_developments. The answer is the same whether or not the address was already subscribed: never tell the person they were.

  shallow
• where_to_live

  Gives a flatin.pt city guide's verdict on where to live, area by area, with the reason, who each area suits and the sources. Use it to choose a neighbourhood; for one municipality's figures use `municipality_stats`, and for new homes there `search_newbuilds`. Without `city` it lists the cities and regions that have a guide. `profile` narrows the areas but never hides the ones we advise against. Noise and safety come as dated, sourced facts: a place's reputation, never a claim about its people. Show the guide's link to the user.
