FAQ Buying Property in Portugal
The purchase process of Portuguese property usually takes 30 to 60 days after signing the promissory contract, although timelines can vary depending on financing and legal requirements. Portugal Realty helps coordinate the process so international buyers can complete their purchase efficiently and with confidence.
While not legally mandatory, hiring a lawyer is strongly recommended. An experienced lawyer checks property documentation, performs legal due diligence, and protects the buyer’s interests. Portugal Realty can recommend independent property lawyers who regularly assist international buyers in Portugal.
Property owners can rent their homes for long-term rentals or short-term holiday rentals. Short-term rentals require an Alojamento Local (AL) licence.
