If you're reading this, you're probably considering buying a property in Portugal. Perhaps you're just starting your search, have already viewed a few homes, or are planning your first viewing trip. Whatever stage you're at, the journey from interest to a successful purchase is often more complex than most people expect.
That's why I wrote this buyer's guide. While assisting international buyers, I noticed the same questions come up time and time again: how does the buying process work? What costs should I expect? What is a CPCV? When is the purchase price paid? What risks should I be aware of?
In this guide, I take you through the entire buying process step by step. My role is to help you make informed decisions and feel confident throughout your property purchase in Portugal.
You don't have to read it from beginning to end in one sitting. Use it as a reference and return to the sections that matter most whenever you need them.
