The Lisbon and Tagus Valley region combines proximity to the capital with affordable land on the south bank and in the West zone. Mobile home demand in Greater Lisbon is concentrated in three segments: alternative housing for those unable to access the traditional property market (average prices of 3,500 EUR/m2 in Lisbon), rural tourism in the West zone (Mafra, Torres Vedras, Lourinha), and second homes on the south bank (Setúbal, Palmela, Sesimbra). Green Village delivers mobile homes across the entire Lisbon metropolitan area, with prices from 14,576 euros and financing up to 120 months.
Regulations
In the Lisbon metropolitan area, as in the rest of Portugal, installing a mobile home to stay on your own land requires a licence or a prior communication (comunicação prévia) to the council, depending on the zone and each council's PDM — being removable does not exempt it. On rural land it is possible only where the PDM land-use class admits it (rural tourism, camping, tourist development), as a rule with a licence; on National Agricultural Reserve (RAN) land, construction works are prohibited except for the uses listed in article 22 of Decree-Law 73/2009 (for example, the farmer's own permanent home or rural-tourism developments complementary to the farm), and any non-agricultural use that needs a licence or prior communication requires a binding prior opinion from the regional RAN body (article 23). On National Ecological Reserve (REN) land, construction and extension works are prohibited (article 20 of Decree-Law 166/2008) except for the compatible uses in annex II, which are exempt or subject to prior communication to the CCDR. In practice a mobile home installed to stay rarely fits these exceptions; in protected areas, also confirm the land classification with the council. On the region's licensed campsites (Costa de Caparica, Guincho, Arrabida), check with the park how the installation fits within the park's licence. For short-term rental in the Lisbon area, a containment regime applies in the historic centre, but peripheral and rural zones remain open for registration. Ask the council for written prior information (informação prévia) before buying land.
Transport
Mobile homes reach the Lisbon region. Transport is organised by Mobile Home Logistic, Green Village's logistics division, and is included in the delivered price. Final delivery in the Lisbon metropolitan area is coordinated with local councils where urban access requires it.
Pricing
Mobile home prices in the Lisbon region are competitive: used units from 14,576 euros, new from 30,000 euros. The delivered and installed price (transport and connection to existing points included) ranges between 20,000 and 70,000 euros — a fraction of the cost of purchasing a flat in Greater Lisbon. Land on the south bank (Palmela, Alcacer do Sal) costs between 20,000 and 80,000 euros for rural plots with good access.
Installation
Installation in the Lisbon area follows the standard process: levelling, concrete block supports, mains connections. On the south bank and West zone, most sites have access to the electricity and water grid. In more isolated areas (Serra da Arrabida, Mafra hinterland), a borehole and solar system may be required. Proximity to Lisbon facilitates access to plumbing, electrical, and earthworks service providers.
