How to buy property in Portugal without the common mistakes

September 16 @ 4:00 pm 4:30 pm BST

You’ve found a property in Portugal that feels right, but it’s easy to focus on the purchase itself and overlook the legal checks that protect you. Knowing what should happen before you sign a contract can help you avoid costly mistakes.

In this free, 30-minute webinar, a Portuguese property lawyer will explain the legal steps involved in buying property in Portugal and the common mistakes overseas buyers can avoid.

You’ll come away knowing:

  • What legal checks are carried out on a property before contracts are signed
  • How to confirm the property has a clear title and no outstanding debts or disputes
  • What the Promissory Contract (Contrato de Promessa de Compra e Venda) commits you to
  • The stages at which your lawyer should be involved, and when to appoint one
  • What can go wrong when buyers cut corners on legal due diligence
  • How legal fees work and what’s included in a typical engagement
  • The questions to ask a lawyer before you instruct them

There’ll also be time for your own questions.
