Role of Lawyers in Portugal

Lawyers play a crucial role in facilitating a secure property purchase by overseeing standard legal checks:

   • Lawyers conduct thorough investigations at the Land Registry to verify:
     • Ownership status
     • Existence of mortgages
     • Tax liabilities
     • Outstanding debts
     • Compliance with property regulations
   • This ensures that the property is legally sound and free from encumbrances.
2. Reviewing Licenses and Permits:
   • Lawyers also verify the existence of necessary licenses, such as building permits and planning permissions, ensuring compliance with local regulations.
3. Drafting Contracts:
   • Lawyers assist in drafting the booking contract and the final sales contract, ensuring that all agreed terms are legally binding and protecting the interests of the buyer.
