Levers to close any gap

BestCrédito à construção — construction loan from Portuguese bank, releases funds in build tranches to cover renovation directly
StrongIncrease LTV to 80% — frees up ~€25k more equity toward renovation costs
EasyEvery £10k extra on UK sale price = ~€11.5k more in the pot
ConsiderPhase the renovation — make livable first, complete remainder once settled and earning in Portugal
CautionReduce renovation scope — risks compromising resale value and quality of finish
