Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Portugal?
It is strongly recommended. A lawyer runs due diligence on ownership, charges and licensing, and secures the promissory contract and the deed so you do not inherit hidden problems.
Can I buy property in Portugal without coming to the country?
Yes. With a power of attorney we obtain your NIF and sign the promissory contract and the deed on your behalf, so you can buy remotely.
What are the main steps to buy a property?
In short: obtain a NIF, run legal due diligence, sign the promissory contract (CPCV), and complete at the public deed (escritura), with the relevant taxes paid and the registration updated.
