Property Hunter Portugal: THE BIBLE FOR BUYING PROPERTY IN PORTUGAL!

Do you want to buy in Portugal?

While not mandatory, this document formalizes the intention to purchase and serves as a guarantee of the final contract. It outlines the rights and obligations of both the buyer and seller, the payment terms, and the delivery date of the house.

The CPCV must contain the following information:

1. Identification of the parties (surname, first name, marital status, address and civil and tax identification)
2. Property identification (address, registration, tax and occupancy permit)
3. Deadline for execution of the final contract (deed);
4. Agreed selling price and payment terms
5. Rights or encumbrances affecting the property: Indication that the property will be sold free of all encumbrances unless otherwise agreed.
6. Penalties for non-compliance: If the buyer is at fault, you risk losing all deposits paid to the seller. If the defect is attributable to the seller, the buyer will receive double the deposit already paid.
7. Reference to forced execution, which allows either party to obtain a court decision producing the effects missing from the contract.

Documentation to check before signing the CPCV:



1. Documentation to check before signing the CPCV:
2. Civil identification and tax identification documents for all parties (citizen card)
3. "Certidão predial": the document certifies the registrations made in relation to the property, allowing verification of its composition, its owners and its encumbrances
4. "Caderneta predial": this document can be requested at the tax office counters or on the relevant portal. It is important to know the property's tax status and its valuation data, such as surface area and heritage value.
5. License of use, for properties built after 1951: this document is essential to verify that the construction is legal.
6. Energy and air quality certificate: By law, the owner is required to present this document as soon as the sale of the property is announced. The certificate assigns a rating to the property, based on its energy performance, from F (least efficient) to A (most efficient).
7. Condominium History: If you choose to buy a property included in a condominium (horizontal ownership system), it is helpful to know its history. You can ask the seller for copies of the bylaws and minutes of the condominium association meeting, with relevant information on approved expenses for work to be carried out, the value of the ownership shares, and the common reserve fund.
