A property is often the biggest investment of a lifetime. Charges, debts, missing licences or registry discrepancies only appear when someone looks for them, and it is better that happens before the deed.

We assist with the whole transaction, including for those buying in Portugal from Brazil or elsewhere through a power of attorney.

Land registry, tax record, occupancy licence, debts and charges confirmed before the promissory contract.

Can I buy a property in Portugal without being in the country?

Yes, through a power of attorney. We prepare the right document and handle every step on your behalf.

What should be checked before the promissory contract?

At a minimum: land registry certificate, tax record, occupancy licence, mortgages or liens and condominium debts. We carry out these checks for you.

My tenant has stopped paying rent. What can I do?

There are specific procedures to recover rent and the property. We review the lease and recommend the fastest route in your case.
