Buying property in Portugal is exciting. The paperwork is not.
Most buyers focus on the house — the view, the location, the feeling. But the documents can reveal things you would never spot on a viewing.
Missing licences. Unregistered buildings. Areas that don't match. Properties classed differently to how they're advertised.
If you don't know what to look for, it's easy to miss the warning signs.
