Real Estate

Buying or selling property in a foreign country means unfamiliar procedures, documents and taxes. We act for buyers, sellers and investors in the Algarve and across Portugal, checking the property and its paperwork before you commit, and representing you through to the deed and the registration.

How we help

• Due diligence: land registry, tax records, licences and debts attached to the property.
• Review and negotiation of the promissory contract (CPCV) and of the deed.
• Purchase and sale by powers of attorney, when you cannot be in Portugal.
• Transfer tax (IMT), stamp duty and property tax (IMI) calculations.
• New builds and off-plan purchases: building defects and guarantees.
• Residential and commercial leases, for landlords and tenants.
• Co-ownership, condominium and tourist development matters.
• Inheritance of property in Portugal and division of assets.
• Corrections of property titles and registration problems.

Before you sign

Most problems we see could have been avoided with a check before the promissory contract was signed. We recommend that you speak to us before paying any deposit.
