Your international real estate agency in Portugal

Yes. Foreign nationals can buy property in Portugal. Buyers normally need a Portuguese tax number, known as a NIF, and the documents required for the transaction. The exact steps depend on the buyer’s circumstances and whether the purchase is financed.

A buyer’s agent works from your criteria, searches the market, organises viewings, compares opportunities and assists with negotiation. This is particularly useful when you are unfamiliar with local areas, market pricing or the Portuguese purchasing process.

Yes. An English-speaking buyer’s agent can explain the main stages and coordinate communication with estate agents, sellers and local professionals. Official documents remain subject to Portuguese requirements and should be explained or translated where necessary.

A substantial part of the process can be organised remotely, including consultations, property searches, live video viewings, negotiation and document coordination. Certain acts may be completed through a properly prepared power of attorney when suitable.

In addition to the purchase price, buyers should allow for acquisition taxes, registration and deed costs, professional fees and, where relevant, mortgage-related charges. The amount depends on the property value, intended use and buyer profile.

Portuguese banks may consider applications from non-residents. Deposit requirements, lending terms, documentation and affordability criteria vary according to income, country of residence and the applicant’s financial profile.
