The Process Of Buying Property In Portugal
Buying property in Portugal is a straightforward process when guided by the right professionals. Here’s an overview of the steps involved:
Property Search: Begin by identifying your requirements and exploring properties that match your criteria. Working with a knowledgeable real estate agent ensures you have access to the best options on the market.
Property Viewing and Offer: Once you’ve found a property you love, schedule viewings to assess it thoroughly. When ready, make an offer to the seller, often facilitated by your agent.
Due Diligence: Before finalizing the purchase, it’s essential to conduct due diligence, including verifying the property’s ownership, legal status, and ensuring there are no outstanding debts. This step is usually handled by a legal advisor or solicitor.
Exchange of Contract / Promissory Contract: After agreeing on the terms with the seller, a Contrato de Promessa de Compra e Venda (Promissory Contract) is signed, which outlines the conditions of the sale. At this point, a deposit (usually 10%-30% of the purchase price) is paid.
Financing (if applicable): If you require a mortgage, secure financing through a Portuguese bank or lender. Your agent or legal advisor can assist with this process.
Final Deed (Escritura Pública): The final transaction is completed at a notary office, where the Escritura Pública (Deed of Sale) is signed and the remaining payment is made. Ownership of the property is then transferred to you.
Property Registration: After the sale, the property is registered in your name at the Land Registry (Conservatória do Registo Predial) and Tax Office (Finanças).
Throughout this process, having an experienced real estate agent by your side can make all the difference. We guide you through every step, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
