For lace brakes

It is impressive that the public agenda still focuses on the potential benefits of applying brakes to lace. This is because, more than anything else, this may be one of those topics that are sufficient to reach the discussion to cause all the damages that supporters certainly intend to avoid. I may say, although the data seems to give clear signals. Even when, as they are, they show the direction of braking, such as the desired dynamics combined. In concrete, especially in Lisbon.

In fact, statistics indicate that in the capital, despite its high, the housing income has been closed. From Sir-Learnes, real estate produces a residential income index that monitors the development of new rental rental agreements that are celebrated in Lisbon. However, such an index shows a stagnation of rent since the second quarter of 2023, even providing a trend for the last descent, and accumulates until the first quarter of 2025 as a nominal variation of 3.1 %, a behavior that is translated into a benefit for families facing negative access conditions. I would like to say really, undoubtedly, despite this break, the average lace/m2 in Lisbon was a T2 apartment in 18 euros, or 1,800 euros for 100 square meters.

The above data shows two violating signal facts. On the one hand, registering a high level of price (rent), coincides with the general feeling of the crisis. On the other hand, one descent of income, which seems to focus at a time when the discussion focuses on the need to stop the market.

As for the rental level, it is possible to verify that over the past fifteen years, its development has practically reflects the development of the number of fires available in the market, that is, to supply it.

During the financial crisis, Sir explains that the rental contract had a strong increase in the offer, and attracting owners who do not want to sell their property. Although the display movement was accompanied by demand (which was unable to reach credit), Lisbon rents descended by 19 %. After this stage, especially in 2015, the movement was reflected. On the one hand, the legislative instability that was observed in the rental contract, and on the other hand, the emergence of alternatives to use led to a 50 % decrease in the show, a pressure that remained in the epidemic. The show break between the 2015 and 2019 finals, the entry increased by 54 %, exceeding 13.5 euros/m2 for the first time. Now, again, the epidemic came, raised the width significantly (50 % compared to the end of 2019). Once again, at the height of the show, in the second quarter of 2021, I noticed a 20 % decrease. The epidemic is overcome, but the inflation reached, in September 2022, the market was interfered, and the brakes were announced on the lace from the current contracts. The consequences were to reduce 20 % of the display and the annual increase in the unpublished income every 29 %. Unpublished that Lisbon reached the average income of 19 euros/m2, a great level of social reality.

Consequently, between the financial crisis and the 2023 brakes, the size of the show and the rental rate offered by -72 %, which clearly indicates the opposite relationship between them.

Since then, it was attracted by the high level of rent, the width increased by 90 %. However, the numbers appear a new fact. They make it clear that, for the first time, the large increase in the show has not been translated into a large amount of rents, with a relatively limited 3.1 % modification. Here, you see the effect and discussions of the brakes, which tenants can thank the fact that the owners are not available to reduce lace because, for them, for the danger of the future brakes is not available to descend, with fear of this irreversible.

In this balance, the market follows. Always at the expense of tenants, he gradually suffers from the rules that are supposed to protect them.

I also support the brakes to the lace. But by strengthening the supply, in the climate of encouraging market confidence and investment.
