Buying property in Portugal
From your first search to the final deed, BuyProperty.pt gives you independent guidance, expert representation and full legal protection. No nationality restrictions. No residency required to buy.
Algarve, Portugal
One partner, every step
Buying abroad is full of unfamiliar rules: NIF numbers, CPCV contracts, IMT tax, AL licences and bank valuations. We bring the search, the legal protection, the financing and the paperwork together so nothing slips through.
On- and off-market property search, price guidance and negotiation — working only for you. Free for purchases above €200,000.
Portuguese real estate lawyers handle due diligence, CPCV review, title and tax checks so your deposit and rights are protected.
We make the banks compete for your business, securing the best available rate — including financing for non-residents.
Get your Portuguese tax number and a local bank account opened remotely — the essential first steps before you buy.
NIF & bank account on Visas.pt →
Independent surveyors safeguard your investment, and trusted property managers handle long- and short-term rentals.
Combine your purchase with licensed Portuguese immigration support — with discounts when you use both services.
A place worth owning
From the golden cliffs of the Algarve to whitewashed hill towns and historic streets — the lifestyle behind your investment.
Why Portugal
Foreigners can buy with the same ownership rights as Portuguese citizens — full freehold, no nationality restrictions, and no need to be resident. What rewards buyers here is patience and discipline, not speed.
The honest version: Portugal can be a solid, lower-volatility market that rewards patience and discipline. Most buyer problems come from speed, assumptions and misplaced trust — all avoidable with the right team.
The process
Secure your NIF and Portuguese bank account, and get mortgage pre-approval if you're financing. These come first — everything else depends on them.
We source on- and off-market properties to your criteria, guide on price and negotiate in your interest. Offer accepted is day zero.
Your lawyer verifies ownership, debts, licences and zoning, then drafts or reviews the promissory contract before any deposit is paid.
Taxes are calculated and paid, the deed is signed before a notary, ownership transfers and the keys are released. Typically 4–10 weeks total.
