What people ask us most.
General answers. Every case is reviewed at the first consultation.
Do I need a NIF to buy a home in Portugal?
Yes. The tax number is required for the deed and to pay the purchase taxes. We can apply for it on your behalf.
Can I buy a property without being in Portugal?
Yes. With a power of attorney, we can represent you at the deed and handle the registrations. We explain which documents you need in your country.
What is tax representation and when is it required?
It is the person who represents you before the Tax Authority when you do not live in Portugal. Whether it is required depends on where you live. We confirm your case and can take on the role.
How long does it take from promissory contract to deed?
It depends on the mortgage, the property documents and what the promissory contract says. We give you a realistic timeline from the start.
