How It Works

Three Steps to Evaluate Tenant Risk

Enter your Portuguese municipality, parish (freguesia), and property typology. This vital data maps real-world lease terms directly across Aluseg’s local rental database.

Provide the proposed monthly rent, security deposit terms, and the prospective tenant’s verified monthly gross income along with existing debt obligations.

The tool instantly runs financial calculations to return the tenant’s Simple and Global Effort Rates, your Net Financial Exposure during a default, and a clear risk classification.

Institutional Risk Threshold Tiers

Aluseg filters tenant financial data through standard banking and insurance risk thresholds utilized across the Portuguese property sector. Assess where your applicant falls:

Underwriting Grade Simple Effort Rate Global Debt Profile Recommended Landlord Action
Grade A (Low Risk) ≤ 30% ≤ 40% Safe to issue lease agreement under standard terms. Strong liquid buffers.
Grade B (Moderate Risk) 30.1% - 40% 40.1% - 45% Conditional approval: Reaches maximum bank credit safety limits. Require a Portuguese Fiador (Guarantor).
Grade C (High Risk) > 40% > 45% Critical danger. Breaches Banco de Portugal macroprudential boundaries. Do not proceed without advanced default insurance.
Underwriting Metrics

Protecting Capital in the Portuguese Rental Framework

In Portugal, property cash flow management requires strict upfront vetting. Because resolving non-payment through the Balcão do Arrendatário e do Senhorio (BAS) or local courts can tie up your asset for months, defensive underwriting is your highest-leverage task. Aluseg ensures you never sign a lease blindly.

Simple Taxa de Esforço

Identifies if the property’s baseline asking rent strains the tenant household's verifiable income pool.

Responsabilidades Crosscheck

Analyzes the true budget impact of existing car loans, personal credits, and lines of credit affecting their liquid payment capacity.

Net Cash Exposure Projection

Calculates your worst-case legal, administrative, and turn costs balanced against the held deposit during a standard 6-month Portuguese eviction cycle.

Compliance-Ready Recommendations

Delivers automated, legally sound safeguards customized to the applicant’s specific metric scores.

FAQs

Risk Management and Asset Protection Queries

Why does the assessment calculate a 6-month exposure timeline?

While the modern BAS system is designed to streamline tenant defaults, contested evictions, legal backlogs, and notification timelines in Portugal conservatively average 6 months to completely execute. The tool models this reality to protect your cash reserves.

Request that the applicant provide their latest Central de Responsabilidades de Crédito map, downloadeable directly from the Banco de Portugal website. This document details their exact active monthly debt obligations.

By securely collecting property types, features, and actual lease values indexed by parish (freguesia), Aluseg is building an independent, real-world rental database. This dataset feeds our advanced valuation engines to help you perfectly optimize your portfolio prices over time.
