Mobile homes for sale in Portugal range from used single-wide units to new luxury twin-unit lodges, with prices starting from 14,576 euros, delivered and installed anywhere on the mainland, the Algarve, the Silver Coast and the islands. Green Village — MHRA Green Mobile Village Homes, Unipessoal Lda (NIPC PT518231585) — sells new and used mobile homes, static caravans and tiny houses, and the delivered price includes transport, customs clearance and on-site installation. Buyers use a mobile home in Portugal as a primary residence, a holiday home, a short-term rental (Alojamento Local) or a unit on a licensed campsite; demand is strongest in the Algarve and along the Silver Coast (Óbidos, Caldas da Rainha, Nazaré), but delivery reaches every district, the Azores and Madeira. «Static caravan» and «park home» describe the same product under the terminology used on UK-oriented listings — Green Village imports both new and used stock from the UK, the Netherlands and France. Every catalogue listing already shows the delivered price, with no transport cost added afterwards.
Regulations
In Portugal, mobile home installation is governed by the Legal Regime for Urbanisation and Construction (RJUE, DL 555/99, amended by DL 10/2024 and DL 108/2026, in force since 1 October 2026). Article 1-A of the RJUE was repealed on 1 October 2026 (Decree-Law 108/2026, art. 10). The RJUE treats as a «building» (edificação) any construction incorporated into the land with a permanent character, regardless of the construction system (art. 2(a)); whether your installation fits that definition is decided case by case by the câmara municipal — request an informação prévia (art. 14). Construction works follow a comunicação prévia in areas covered by a detailed plan (plano de pormenor), execution unit or allotment that fixes the parameters (art. 4(4)(d)), or in a consolidated urban zone that respects those plans without exceeding the prevailing frontage height (art. 4(4)(e)); otherwise, a licença (art. 4(2)(c)). The RJUE does not regulate rural land itself: it defers to the plans — a licence is refused if it breaches a municipal or inter-municipal plan, an administrative easement or a public-interest restriction (art. 24(1)(a)), and a comunicação prévia must comply with the land-management instruments (art. 34(4)). In areas subject to an administrative easement or public-interest restriction — the RJUE lists the National Agricultural Reserve (RAN) and National Ecological Reserve (REN) among those the council must keep on record (art. 119(1)(j) and (l)) — construction works require a licença unless those constraints are set out in a detailed plan, allotment or execution unit (art. 4(2)(h)). On a campsite or tourist development, check with the park and with the câmara municipal how your unit is covered. For short-term rental (Alojamento Local), the unit must comply with DL 128/2014, including fire-safety requirements, accessibility standards and registration with Turismo de Portugal. VAT on mobile home sales in Portugal is 23%, though used units imported within the EU may benefit from the margin scheme. Green Village's EORI PT518231585 ensures correct customs clearance for imports from third countries such as post-Brexit UK, whose customs duty is already included in the delivered price. Individual municipalities may set their own specific conditions through the local PDM — always confirm with the câmara before installation.
Transport
Transport to any address in Portugal is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, and is included in the delivered price shown on every listing. The transport is insured at 100% of the unit's value, from collection to installation on site. Installation — positioning, levelling and connections to the existing networks — is always included. Before delivery, we check that the access to the plot allows a unit of the contracted width to get in; for rural plots, campsite pitches or narrow village streets, confirm access with our team when you reserve, sending photos of the approach road if we ask for them. Deliveries to the Azores and Madeira are scheduled individually, with the date confirmed in writing before dispatch.
Pricing
Mobile home prices in Portugal start from 14,576 euros for used units and run up to 358,034 € for new luxury twin-unit lodges — both figures already include transport and customs clearance to your address. VAT at 23% applies to the transaction value, though used units imported within the EU may benefit from the margin scheme. Rather than quoting a single national average, compare the live listings in the catalogue by typology and condition, since the Algarve and Lisbon-area stock typically commands a premium over the interior and the North. Financing is arranged with our partner credit institution, over 24 to 120 months, at rates from 10% nominal (11.8% APR), subject to the credit institution's approval. The cheapest route into ownership is a used single-wide unit in good condition, which is also the segment with the most stock turnover.
Installation
Installing a mobile home in Portugal starts with site preparation: levelling the plot and setting a support base — concrete footings or a steel chassis support — before connecting water, electricity and sewage. Green Village's turnkey service covers site assessment, base preparation, delivery, positioning and the connections to the existing networks, always included in the delivered price. On rural plots without mains services, our team confirms the viable alternative (borehole, cistern or an off-grid system) with you before the delivery date. Our technicians certify every connection against Portuguese standards — ITED for telecommunications, RTIEBT for electrical installations — and hand over a final inspection report. Recommended annual maintenance covers the chassis, guttering, seals and roof coverings; coastal and island units need more frequent checks against salt corrosion.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need planning permission for a mobile home in Portugal? +
- As a rule, yes. On a licensed campsite or tourist development, check with the park how the installation fits within the park's licence. On your own land, a mobile home installed to stay is subject to the RJUE: a licença or a comunicação prévia to the câmara municipal, depending on the zone and the municipal plan — being removable does not exempt it. On rural land, only where the land-use class admits it. Confirm in writing with the council before buying.
- What is the VAT rate on mobile homes in Portugal? +
- The standard rate is 23%. Used units imported from within the EU may qualify for the margin scheme, which reduces the tax base. Green Village handles the fiscal documentation for every sale.
- How does transport from the UK to Portugal work? +
- Transport is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, and is included in the delivered price shown on the listing; the unit arrives insured at 100% of its value, ready to install.
- Can I use a mobile home for short-term rental (Alojamento Local) in Portugal? +
- Yes. The unit must comply with DL 128/2014 — fire safety, accessibility and registration with Turismo de Portugal — and the installation itself still needs its own licença or comunicação prévia. Green Village assists with the planning side of the process.
- Can a foreigner or US citizen buy a mobile home or land in Portugal? +
- Yes. Portugal places no nationality restriction on buying land, a mobile home or any other property; non-EU buyers follow the same purchase, tax and registration steps as EU citizens. You will need a NIF (Portuguese tax number) to sign; if you have no EU tax residency, you will typically also need a fiscal representative to obtain it — confirm the current requirement with a Portuguese accountant or lawyer before buying.
- Can I live in a mobile home on my own land in Portugal? +
- Only once the installation has the planning title the zone requires — a licença or comunicação prévia — and, for permanent habitation, the follow-on communication to the câmara. Living in an unlicensed unit on rural land is the most common mistake buyers make; get written confirmation from the council first.
- Does Green Village have showrooms in Portugal? +
- Yes — a store in Porto/Maia and a showroom in Ribeirinha (Azores), plus showrooms in Vigo (Spain), La Séguinière (France, by appointment) and Jundiaí (Brazil), where you can inspect units in person before buying.
