Before you buy

Buying a house or apartment: what to prepare.

Consider the area as well as the home

For an apartment, consider access, parking and shared spaces. For a house, think about outdoor space and maintenance. Tell us about your daily journeys, the services you need nearby and how you plan to use the property.

Selling a property before you buy?

Base your purchase budget on what may remain after the sale, its costs and any loan repayment. An initial commercial review of the home you are selling can help you plan both transactions.

Questions about buying property in Portugal.

How do I start buying a house or apartment in Portugal?

Start with the area, total budget, property type, intended use and timing. Send IMOJA your brief so we can confirm the search service, identify suitable properties and arrange viewings. Availability is checked during the search.

What should I include in my total purchase budget?

Plan for the property price, applicable purchase taxes, completion costs and any professional or financing costs. Allow for work the property may need. The purchase calculator provides an estimate; confirm the figures for your situation with your appointed professionals before committing.

Does the buyer pay an agency commission to IMOJA?

There is no direct IMOJA buyer fee when we are paid by the seller or a partner agency. Before you proceed, we explain who represents each party and any separate charges. Purchase file preparation and purchase coordination can also be contracted separately at the prices shown on this page.

Which property documents should I check before buying?

Use our document centre to prepare questions about the property records, the promissory sale and purchase agreement (CPCV) and any missing documents. IMOJA can organise the purchase file. Your independent lawyer or solicitor carries out the legal review, and technical checks remain with the relevant professionals.

Can IMOJA help if I have already found a property?

Yes. You can request purchase file preparation or purchase coordination without starting a new property search. Tell us which property you have found and which steps are already complete so we can confirm the scope and fee before work begins.
