According to the same information, which reflects the situation up to 19 January, the number of houses acquired by beneficiaries of this measure reached 13,892, with the average value of the houses negotiated remaining at 187 thousand euros.

In recent statements to Lusa, the Minister of Youth and Modernization, Margarida Balseiro Lopes, gave a positive assessment of this measure, considering that it has allowed "removing obstacles" in young people's access to housing.

To have access to this measure, which is granted automatically, young people cannot have owned property in the three years prior to purchasing the house, with the age limit (35 years) being determined on the date of the deed.
