Who we are

Independent advisors,
always on your side.

We are a specialised consulting firm dedicated exclusively to buyer protection — whether you're acquiring land to build your dream home, purchasing a house, or making an investment in Portugal.

With over 15 years of combined experience and 200+ projects completed, we guide you through every step — from first search to final deed — with complete transparency.

We are also the only company in Portugal specialised in land acquisition, with deep knowledge of PDM zoning, building regulations, and municipal processes that others simply don't have.

A property purchase is not a transaction —
it is one of the most important decisions
you will ever make.

— Find a Land · Buyer's Charter

The Challenge

Why buyers need an
independent advisor.

Portugal's property market is opaque, fragmented and bureaucratic. Without local expertise on your side, buyers face several recurring risks — every one of them avoidable.

i.

Hidden legal issues

Undeclared debts, unclear ownership, planning restrictions and illegal constructions are common — and often invisible without local expertise.

ii.

Overpriced properties

Without market knowledge, buyers routinely overpay. We provide full property history, past listing prices, and time on market — so you negotiate from a position of strength.

iii.

Conflicted agents

In Portugal, agents represent the seller. When you sit across the table, no one in the room is working for you.

iv.

Complex bureaucracy

From promissory contract to final deed, every step involves waiting — on municipalities, on notaries, on approvals. What feels close can still be months away.

(1) Up to 4 properties analysed per engagement.

(2) This includes privileged data most buyers never see: how long the property has been on the market and every price change since listing — critical leverage for negotiation.

We charge €900 + VAT for a full-service engagement that covers every step shown above. On average, the process takes 5 to 6 months — some close in one, others take longer — but our commitment is always to get you to the finish line.

A second fee is paid at closing — by the selling agent, for introducing the buyer. You pay nothing more.

Purchasing a home or apartment above €350k? Your €900 + VAT is refunded at closing. Schedule a call to find out more.

For a formal proposal tailored to your needs, we start with a short online meeting — followed by a detailed offer sent directly to you.
