‍The Buying Process in Portugal‍

A Clear Path to Property Ownership

At Alina Reis Bespoke Luxury & Advisory, we offer personalised guidance throughout every stage of your purchase, ensuring peace of mind from start to finish. Here is how the process typically unfolds:

Step 1: Appoint Legal Representation

Begin by selecting a reputable Portuguese lawyer. They will carry out all due diligence, confirm the legal status of the property, and handle the transaction on your behalf if needed.

Step 2: Obtain a Portuguese Tax Number (NIF)

This number is required to purchase property in Portugal. Your lawyer can secure it on your behalf with a simple copy of your passport and proof of address.

Step 3: Open a Local Bank Account

To complete the purchase and manage future running costs, a Portuguese bank account is necessary. We are happy to introduce you to trusted banking contacts who can assist.

Step 4: Sign the Promissory Contract (CPCV)

Once due diligence is complete, both parties sign a promissory contract which sets out the terms of sale. A deposit of 10 to 30 percent is usually paid at this stage.

Step 5: Sign the Final Deed (Escritura)

The transaction concludes with the signing of the final deed in front of a notary. At this point, the remaining balance is paid and the property is officially registered in your name.

When Buying Through a Company

If the property is held by a corporate structure, either offshore or onshore, the transaction may involve the transfer of company shares instead of a traditional property sale. This process must be carefully evaluated by your lawyer and financial advisor. While it can offer tax and inheritance advantages, it also requires specific legal and fiscal due diligence. We work closely with your advisors to ensure full transparency and security.
