Avoid Legal Gaps

Portugal Real Estate

Protect your

investment

Protect your investment with clarity, data, and experienced legal coordination.

At Brint, we’ve walked this road — not just professionally, but personally. Since 2017, we’ve helped clients from all over the world navigate the Portuguese property market with strategic guidance and local legal coordination built to protect every step of the way.

Buying a home in Portugal is a rewarding move — but only when every document, clause, and detail is handled with precision.

A What’s at Stake Without Proper Guidance

Undisclosed property issues

Missing documentation

unclear title

Unfavorable contract terms

Legal restrictions on usage

Delays or losses at closing

These setbacks are more common than most expect. The good news? They’re also avoidable — when you know what to look for.


Our Protection Services

We work closely with vetted Portuguese lawyers and legal experts. Through our EBA360™ – Brint Signature Framework, we coordinate and deliver a buyer-side protection system designed to bring transparency and peace of mind.

Before the Promissory
Contract (CPCV)

 

  • Document Research & Review
    We ensure the property is legally eligible for sale. That includes confirming the owner, verifying the registration, checking for liens, debts, or infractions.

  • Usage & Licensing Check
    Is the zoning aligned with your plans? Can it be used as a short-term rental? We get the answers before you commit.

At the Contract Stage

FROM our Families to yours

  • Terms & Contingencies Negotiation
    We negotiate on your behalf to align the contract terms with your interests — including financing contingencies, exit clauses, or condition-based protections.

  • Contract Drafting & Review
    Through our legal partners, we coordinate full review – with translation (or drafting if needed) of the CPCV to ensure it’s not just legally valid — but fair to you.

Before the Final Deed (Escritura)

  • Title Survey & Legal Due Diligence
    We re-verify that the property title is clean, free of surprises, and aligned with the notary process.

  • Seller Coordination & Final Documentation
    We ensure the seller provides everything needed: up-to-date tax clearances, energy certificates, licenses, and any pending documents.

What’s Included in Your Protection:

  • Certified document and title research

  • Legal coordination translation (before CPCV and escritura)

  • Contract review and negotiation between you and the lawyers

  • Usage and licensing verification

  • Tax number (NIF) and bank account setup coordination

  • Certified appraisals and technical inspections

  • Mortgage condition analysis (if needed)

  • Insurance shopping and terms negotiation

  • Dedicated team support, from start to finish

How is Brint Different

We don’t just “check boxes” — we anticipate problems before they become delays or costs.

As your independent Portugal Buyer’s Agent, we are aligned only with your side of the transaction. This allows us to advocate without conflict of interest. We don’t list properties. We don’t represent sellers. Our only commitment is to protect and guide you.

All coordination is done by us — but all technical services are executed by our trusted third-party network of licensed professionals.

A Few Examples We’ve Seen Clients Avoid

  • A rural property sold without licensing for residential use

  • An apartment with unpaid condo debts transferred to the buyer

  • A home advertised for short-term rental, but in a zone where it’s prohibited

  • A “renovated” house with hidden fines for illegal works

  • A missing seller signature on a property with shared ownership

  • A short term rental house with illegal pool

All were flagged before signature — not after.
