A personalised service for discerning clients seeking the best of the Portuguese property market.
Luxury Properties
An exclusive selection of villas, apartments and premium properties in Lisbon, Cascais and Ericeira. Every property is verified and assessed against our rigorous standards.
Mortgage in Portugal
I am not a credit intermediary - that is a regulated activity supervised by the Bank of Portugal and I do not carry it out. What I do is refer you to registered intermediaries I work with, and handle the part that is mine: the property, the bank valuation and the deadlines the loan imposes on the deed.
Property Investment
Market analysis and investment consultancy for those seeking returns. Local rental evidence, capital appreciation potential and the risks attached to each option. Verifiable numbers, not promises of return.
Relocation Consultancy
Support for expatriates and families relocating to Portugal. School selection, opening a bank account and the necessary paperwork, coordinating with accountants and lawyers on tax and legal matters.
Property Sales
Personalised marketing strategy, professional photography and virtual staging. Premium positioning to maximise your property's value.
After-Sales Support
We remain available even after the transaction. Property management, renovations, tax assistance and any other needs that arise.

FAQ
What to know before buying property in Portugal
Straight answers to what international buyers ask most often. This is general information, not legal or tax advice: for your own case, work with a lawyer and an accountant.
Can a foreigner buy property in Portugal?
Yes. Portugal places no restriction on foreign ownership of property: non-residents, including citizens from outside the EU, buy on the same legal terms as Portuguese nationals. In practice you will need a Portuguese tax number (NIF) and, for most transactions, a Portuguese bank account.
What is a NIF and should I get one before I start looking?
The NIF is the Portuguese tax number. It is required for the purchase itself, for utility contracts and for opening a bank account. Requesting it before you begin viewings avoids delays later. The rules on fiscal representation for non-EU residents have changed more than once in recent years, so confirm what applies at the time you apply.
Do I have to be in Portugal to complete the purchase?
No. A purchase can be completed through a power of attorney granted to a lawyer or representative in Portugal. Buyers commonly travel for viewings and then sign remotely, or arrange both the promissory contract and the deed within a single trip.
What are the steps between an accepted offer and the keys?
Usually three. A reservation, then the promissory contract (contrato-promessa de compra e venda) signed with a deposit that is commonly 10 per cent, then the deed (escritura) before a notary. Between the promissory contract and the deed it is common to allow 30 to 90 days, and longer when mortgage financing is involved.
What should I budget beyond the purchase price?
IMT (the property transfer tax), stamp duty, notary and land registry fees, and legal fees if you appoint a lawyer. IMT depends on the price, the type of property and whether it will be your permanent home, so it should be calculated for the specific property rather than assumed as a flat percentage. The buyer does not pay the agency commission: it is paid by the seller.
Can I still obtain a Golden Visa by buying property?
No. Since 7 October 2023, under Lei 56/2023, buying residential, commercial or rehabilitation property no longer qualifies for a new Golden Visa application anywhere in Portugal. The routes that remain are non-real-estate investment funds, company capitalisation, scientific research, cultural heritage and job creation. Owning property in Portugal remains perfectly possible: it simply is no longer the basis for the residency application. I coordinate the visa route with specialist lawyers and handle the property side myself.
