Real Estate Services in Portugal
Buy A Property Remotely
At Lexidy, we offer a 360-view service.
Whenever you come up with the idea to purchase a property in Portugal, we will recommend websites where you can take a look at different properties all across Portugal and do a complete takeover of the transaction.Â
Well, first it would be with you signing a Power of Attorney in your place of residence or you can come to Portugal to sign it.
The second you find a property that you like, you either visit it or the estate agent takes videos and pictures of the property for you, that is the exact moment where we will spare you the tedious task of dealing with an estate agent that would barely speak English or French since all of our Real Estate Law specialists are fully fluent in both languages besides Portuguese of course; this is crucial for the entire negotiation process that will come down when drafting the Reserve Contract and Arras Contract.
Besides the negotiation process, part of our services is to perform the Due Diligence over the property that you intend to purchase, just to make sure that everything is in order from a legal perspective, for instance, the charges, encumbrances, liens and whatever other debt that the property might have, as in debts with the community of neighbours (spills) or with the town hall/city hall.
We are proud to say that we have several partnerships with architect firms all across Portugal, not only for technical inspections of your future home but also for renovations, certificates of habitability, elaborating blueprints of your property and also to fully construct a home from scratch.
After all of these steps have been completed and the day of the final purchase deed arrives, our services do not stop there, we also take care of registering the property within the Land Registry, we settle the taxes for you, we notify the community of neighbours (in case there is one) that you are the new owner of the property and last but not least, we also help you to register in the town hall as the person living in said property.
Lease Agreements
A well-crafted lease agreement specifies the terms of your rental agreement, lowers liability, and helps protect your investment. As a landlord, you need a high-quality lease agreement that both you and your tenant trust. We have three types of contracts depending on the property asset: residential; commercial; and short-term.
Search The Land Registry
We can search local registries and uncover hidden charges before it’s too late. We can flag risks like outstanding mortgages, encumbrances or debts against a property. Our service gives you information about owner(s) identity, location of the property, classification of the property, possible charges and more.

CPCV Agreement
An “CPCV” is an important document when purchasing a property. Essentially, it’s an agreement where the purchaser deposits 10% of the price and other terms of the sale are agreed. A well-crafted CPCV reduces your risk and protects your investment by specifying the terms of your private agreement against the successful completion of the purchase.
Power Of Attorney
If you need to have a legal representative in Portugal that manages your manners on your behalf, while you are not present, Power of Attorney is the perfect option. A Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants an individual or a group of individuals the right to act on behalf of a person in areas where they need it.
