Property management, delivered like a private office.
The Cascais House Company exists for a simple reason: international property owners need someone they genuinely trust on the ground — not a rotating cast of contractors, agents and call centres. We provide that person.
Matthew Rowley
For more than 25 years, Matthew has worked with UHNW and high-net-worth clients internationally, supporting complex residential assets, private households, investment properties, recruitment of senior household staff and owner representation.
Having lived in Cascais for more than 15 years, Matthew combines deep local knowledge with current, hands-on property-management experience in both Portugal and the UK, where he manages residential properties for private clients. That ongoing work shapes the systems and accountability behind The Cascais House Company.
Direct accountability. Personally delivered.One point of contact. Total peace of mind.
The values that govern everything we do.
Trust
Relationships built over years, not transactions. We earn confidence through consistency and discretion.
Accountability
One name, one number, one person responsible. There is never a question of who is looking after your property.
Discretion
We work quietly. Your privacy, your property and your affairs remain entirely your own.
Long-Term Relationships
We are not a service you switch on and off. We become the trusted local presence you rely on for years.
