You wouldn't buy or sell at home without a lawyer so don’t do so abroad

We can’t stress how important it is to have a lawyer working for you, we also can’t stress enough how important it is to have the right lawyer working for you.

Using a lawyer when you buy or sell a property here in Portugal is not a legal requirement, you can choose to go through the buying and selling process on your own … however, this is not something that we recommend. 

When you buy or sell a property there is a lot of paperwork that goes along with it - you can see all the necessary paperwork that is needed to sell a property on our Selling property page. Licenses need to be checked, it’s mandatory that all property documents are up to date and that any alterations made to the property have already been registered with the correct authorities.
