Our specialized team is available to answer all your questions and help you every step of the way. If you have any questions about the valuation of your property, please consult the FAQ’s below. We are available to provide the necessary support and ensure that you feel safe and well informed.

To sell your property you need to have the following documents:
- Identification document (Identity Card, Citizen Card, Passport or Permanent Commercial Certificate)
- Fiscal Number (NIF or NIPC)
- Portuguese Tax Authorities Property Registration
- Registration at BUPI (in the case of farm land)
- Property Registry Certificate /Deed
- Energy Certificate (residential, commercial or service property)
- Property Housing License (if the property was built after 1951)
- Infrastructure Certificate (if the property is in a development area and it is the first sale after construction)
- Housing Technical Sheet (if the property was built after 2004)

The Office for Farm Land Registry or “Balcão Único do Prédio” (BUPi) allows people who own farm and mixed properties to inform the georeferentiation and register their properties free of charge. When transferring farm property, it is mandatory to present the BUPI registration.

The Promissory Contract of Purchase and Sale (CPCV) is the document that will establish all the guidelines in the Purchase or sale of your property.

It will clearly identify the buying and selling parties (grantors) and, unequivocally identifies the property being negotiated.

It defines the value of the deal and how it will be paid for. If there is a down payment, how much and how it will be paid, what reinforcements to the down payment will be made, how much and when they will be paid

It establishes when the final Contract of Purchase and Sale will be made, how much will be paid at that time and how the payment will be made.

When there are contingencies to the deal, they must be expressed, namely if the deal is conditioned by financing approval and/or appraisal, pending city council opinion or the presentation of some sort of documentation, amongst others.

It also regulates what happens if one of the parties fails and what the penalties are, how the parties should communicate with each other and whether a real estate agency was involved in the process.

The Promissory Contract of Purchase and Sale (CPCV) can be as complete as you want it to be, but where it is lacking, it will be regulated by the Portuguese Civil Code.

The capital gain is the gain obtained on the sale of a property. It’s calculated as the difference between what it costed or is valued by the tax office (VPT), considering the higher of these two values, and the value at which it was sold. Invoices for maintenance and renewals over the last 12 years, as well as expenses related to legalization and the sale process, including the real estate commission, are considered as a cost. The pending mortgage is also discounted.

If the property you are selling came into your possession after January 1st, 1989 (the date on which the Portuguese IRS Code came into force), there will be capital gains tax. If the property was registered in your name before 1989, there will be no taxable capital gain.

If the property you are selling is your own permanent home (HPP), it is possible to benefit from capital gains exemption if you reinvest the full amount of the sale in another permanent home within the next 3 years after selling or if you have already made that investment in the previous 2 years.

The subject of capital gains is full of nuances and details which, as a general rule, merit a more in-depth analysis and, for this reason, if necessary, you can seek advice from our partners for legal advice.

The Final Purchase and Sale Contract can be concluded by means of a Deed or by means of an Authenticated Private Document (DPA). Both have the same validity and legal weight. Deeds can only be drawn up by Notaries, while DPAs can be drawn up by Lawyers or Solicitors.

When a property is sold, pre-emption rights may have to be communicated. This means that the terms of the deal must be communicated so that anyone who has the chance to exercise their right of first refusal pays the same amount and the seller is not disadvantaged.
The 3 most common notices of pre-emption rights are:

- In the sale of farm land, it is obligatory to communicate the terms of the deal to the adjoining neighbors who also have farm land, so that they have the possibility of exercising the right of first refusal;
- When selling a rented property, if the tenant has been renting the property for more than 3 years, they can exercise the right of first refusal to buy the property;
- When selling urban properties, the deal must be communicated on the “Casa Pronta” website, indicating which property is being sold, the value of the deal and the parties involved, giving the local council and other state bodies the opportunity to exercise the right of first refusal.
