The step-by-step process for buying a house in the Algarve, Portugal

Buying a house in the Algarve is not a cost, but an investment, because you are investing in one of the best regions of Portugal, visited by thousands of national and foreign tourists every year, due to the exceptional climate, the wonderful beaches and many other natural beauties. But the Algarve also has a vast historical and cultural heritage, delicious cuisine, good infrastructure, commerce and services, excellent levels of security... and all for a cost of living well below the European average! So, you have every reason to decide to buy a house in the Algarve. The Algarve is an excellent area to live and spend vacations and, therefore, a very sought after region for global investors who wish to invest under incentive programs, such as the Golden Visa. From apartments with sea view to villas with swimming pool by the mountains, you will find the house of your dreams without difficulty

​Step One | Set a Budget

You can find both affordable apartments and luxury villas, so the first step to buying a house in the Algarve is to really set a realistic and feasible budget.

Step Two | Choose the area you want to live in

The whole Algarve region is famous for its beaches, warm climate and quality of life, but you still need to understand whether you prefer to live in a more cosmopolitan city or in a more peaceful rural area.

Step Three | Define the type of house you want to buy

Is a studio apartment enough or does your family need a 4 bedroom in the Algarve? Hmm... perhaps a villa or even a plot of land to build the property of your dreams? The choice of housing type and typology is important to move on to the next step of buying a house in the Algarve.

Step Four | Search... or find a partner who will do the research for you!

Now, with the area and type of house you want in mind, it's time to start your research. However, if you want to receive expert support during this process and find your dream property in record time, just contact me to assist you through the whole process!

Step Six | Making an offer on your dream home

Have you found the perfect home for your family? With my support, you will always make the right offer and have a better chance of success!

Step Seven | Gather all documentation

The next step is to gather or ask your intermediary to gather all the documents of the property: legal description, utilization license, house blueprint, the housing technical sheet, energy certificate...

Step Eight | Signing the preliminary agreement

The preliminary agreement is a document in which the two parties involved (seller and buyer) confirm the intention to buy/sell the property until the moment of the deed. To prepare the preliminary agreement you must present your Citizen Card or passport, proof of NIF or Portuguese tax number and pay a deposit, agreed previously. Therefore, if you need a housing loan to buy a house in the Algarve, it is advisable to deal with the bank before the preliminary agreement, because the bank will require the presentation of other documents, such as location and fraction plan, usage permit, land registry, income declaration, etc.

Step Nine | Getting the house deeded

Today is the day! The day the sale is formalized with the completion of the deed and full payment of the property. But don't forget to pay the Municipal Tax on Transactions (IMT) and the Stamp Tax (IS) for the property! And a few days later, don't forget to collect the deed from the respective notary's office!

With my support during this process, you will not have to worry about any of the points above! In addition to not wasting time visiting properties that do not align with your expectations, you will always have the appropriate advice, which will make the visiting process smoother, focused and
