Commercial property in Madeira
Commercial buying on Madeira splits into two very different markets. The first is retail and office space in Funchal — the Zona Velha, Rua dos Murças, Avenida Arriaga and the streets behind the market — where value follows footfall and the state of the building rather than the floor area. The second is tourism: guesthouses, small hotels and turnkey Alojamento Local units along the south coast between Câmara de Lobos and Machico.
The decisive document is the licence of use (licença de utilização). A unit registered for habitação cannot be operated as a shop or a guesthouse until the câmara municipal reclassifies it.
Where a business is running, we review the existing tenancy or operating contracts, the last two years of occupancy and the accessibility requirements before a price is agreed.

Portuguese listings use the T typology: T1 means one bedroom, T2 two bedrooms, T3 three, and so on. The room filter above follows the same count.
