INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
Once you have identified a property, you must consider any restrictions applicable to the intended purpose of the investment. This is followed by proper legal Due Diligence and financing (if applicable). It is necessary to take into account the tax arrangements applicable to permanent housing, recovery of leased premises, long-term leases, purchase and sale for resale, local accommodation, etc.
The pre-contract purchase and sale agreement must reflect the conditions of the property and protect the parties involved from unforeseen events. With the execution of the deed, the property is transferred and a municipal property transfer tax is levied, plus stamp duty, and the transaction must be registered with the authorities.
GOLDEN VISAS
The so-called “golden visas” are residence permits for investment. Applicants may carry out investment business individually or through a company incorporated in Portugal or in an EU Member State with a permanent establishment in Portugal, provided that the quantitative and temporal requirements are met.
