Buying property in Portugal

Full guide →

Portugal is open to foreign buyers with no restrictions on ownership. A NIF (tax number) and Portuguese bank account are required, and most buyers engage an independent lawyer to handle searches, contracts, and the public deed.

  1. 1

    Get a NIF

    Apply for a Portuguese tax number (Número de Identificação Fiscal). Non-EU residents need a fiscal representative.

  2. 2

    Open a bank account

    Open a local account to handle the deposit, taxes, and ongoing utility payments.

  3. 3

    Engage a lawyer

    Hire an independent lawyer (not the seller's) to run title and planning searches.

  4. 4

    Sign the CPCV

    Promissory contract (Contrato de Promessa de Compra e Venda) with a deposit, typically 10–30%.

  5. 5

    Final searches & funds

    Lawyer confirms clean title; you transfer the balance and pay IMT and stamp duty before completion.

  6. 6

    Escritura (deed)

  7. 7

    Register the property
