Independent Investment Advisory
Before you buy in Portugal,an independent review.
We examine the documents, the costs and the risks on your behalf. We work for a fixed advisory fee, take no commission from anyone, and the decision stays yours.
Not a sales call. We use the first conversation to agree what needs checking.
Approach
We do the checking. You make the call.
We examine the opportunity you are looking at carefully, verify the documentation and put what we find in writing.
We work for a fixed advisory fee, agreed before any work begins, and we take no commission from any party. The estate agent is paid by the seller when the sale completes; we are paid by you. That is precisely why our answer can be that you should not buy.
A written report, not a verbal opinion.
Every review leaves you with a document: what we checked, what we found and which questions are still open.
- Written assessment
- Document checklist
- Questions still open
- Our independent view
Checklist
What we check
The questions we ask of every opportunity. You get the answers in writing.
- 01
Title and ownership
Does the seller actually own it, and what exactly does the registry say?
- 02
Permits and approvals
Do the building permit, habitation certificate and permitted use agree?
- 03
Debts, mortgages and liens
Is there an unpaid charge or a third party claim attached to the property?
- 04
Costs outside the price
With tax, notary, registration, service charges and repairs, what is the real total?
- 05
Whether the rent is realistic
What rents are actually achieved nearby, and how many months a year is it let?
- 06
When you want to sell
Who the buyer would be, how long a sale takes and when you see the money.
Process
Four steps. The same person throughout.
At every step you get, in writing, what we did and what we found. Nobody is rushed.
Portugal
Same price, two very different streets.
Two Lisbon flats can carry the same price: one where demand holds all year, one where finding a tenant is hard. A listing will not show you that difference. Being there will.
You speak to one person, start to finish.

Questions
Before we talk
The questions we get most often, answered honestly.
I know nothing about Portugal. Can we still work together?
Yes. Most of our clients are investing in Portugal for the first time. Reading the market, the rules and the areas on your behalf is most of the job.
Would you tell me a property is a bad investment?
We would. Our role is to set out the risks and the gaps plainly before you commit. If what we find is negative, we write that down with the same clarity.
Can I trust the rental income figures?
We do not simply pass on the seller's number. We check rents actually achieved in the area and occupancy through the year, and we show you where the figures come from.
Do you handle the legal work?
No, we are not lawyers. We examine the documents, flag anything missing or risky, and where it matters we recommend you instruct an independent lawyer.
How long does a review take?
Examining a single opportunity usually takes a few weeks. Most clients reach a decision within one to three months.
What if the review tells me not to buy — have I wasted the fee?
A review that stops a bad purchase has done exactly what you paid for. Either way you keep the written report and the document checklist, and both carry over to the next property you look at.
How is the fee set?
We charge a fixed advisory fee. We tell you the amount clearly in the first conversation, before any work begins. It does not change with the outcome, and we take no commission from any party. For scale: on a €400,000 purchase, tax, notary and legal costs alone come to over €37,000 before anything goes wrong, and a defect in the title or the use licence puts far more than that at risk.
