You are going to buy a property in Portugal. What’s next?

Once you have chosen the property you want to buy, the process of purchasing a property, for your own residence or for any other purpose, has a significant impact on the lives of both the seller and the buyer. This decision-making moment involves a sequence of steps that will
eventually lead to the completion of the process.

Before making a final decision, the buyer must carefully check all documentation pertaining to the property. Enlisting the help of a real estate agent allows you to swiftly access and check all related documents. Checking the following items is highly recommended:

- Updated certificate issued by the Real Estate Registry;

- Property Tax Document (Caderneta Predial);

- Copy of the Property’s License for Use;

- Property Data Sheet (for residential properties);

- Valid Energy Certification.

Checking these documents is not always easy for the common buyer, therefore, professional
help must be sought in the process, usually a lawyer or a solicitor.
The purchase may be legalised by means of a public deed or a private document. You can do this at any of the following:

- Public or private notary;

- Real Estate Registry Office;

- Lawyer’s/Solicitor’s office;

- Bank Agency.

Une fois que le bien immobilier que vous souhaitez acquérir a été choisi, le processus d'achat d'un bien immobilier, qu'il s'agisse d'un logement ou d'un autre type de bien, a un impact significatif sur la vie de l'acheteur et du vendeur. Il s'agit d'un moment décisif qui implique une série d'actions intermédiaires jusqu'à la conclusion du processus.

Avant de se décider pour le bien immobilier à acquérir, l'acheteur doit veiller à consulter toute la documentation y afférente. La réalisation d'une transaction immobilière est toujours conditionnée par la vérification de l'ensemble des documents du bien concerné, afin de garantir qu'ils correspondent effectivement à ce qui est en train d'être transigé. L'utilisation d'une société de médiation immobilière permet une consultation rapide de tous les éléments du bien, il est donc conseillé de consulter les documents suivants :

• Certificat actualisé du Registre Foncier ;
• Livret Foncier ;
• Copie de la Licence d'Utilisation du bien ;
• Fiche Technique de l'Habitat (dans le cas d'un bien à usage d'habitation) ;
• Certificat de Performance Énergétique en vigueur.

La vérification de ces éléments n'est pas toujours facile pour la plupart des acheteurs, il est donc recommandé de faire appel à un professionnel pouvant les aider dans ce processus, tels qu'un avocat et/ou un notaire.

La formalisation de l'acquisition peut être effectuée directement par acte notarié ou par un document privé, et peut être réalisée aux endroits suivants :

• Chez un notaire public ou privé ;
• Directement au Conservatoire des Hypothèques ;
• Dans le cabinet d'un avocat / d'un solicitor ;
• Au guichet d'une institution bancaire.
