What are the main difficulties in the property acquisition process in Portugal?
A key challenge in buying property in Portugal, as in buying a property in any foreign country, is ensuring that you purchase the property at the best possible price. In addition to this, ensuring that there are no legal complications with either the property or the seller is essential, for example, the property’s compliance with existing or required licenses and the existence of liens or encumbrances. Plus, you must be aware of the legal process, contracts, and additional fees (such as lawyer fees and property management fees, etc.) you will need to pay.
Can Goldcrest work with my lawyer?

Lawyers are essential in ensuring the due diligence of both the property and seller is conducted correctly and in drawing up the required contracts.
