Once you have found the property you would like to buy, and your agent has successfully negotiated a deal on your behalf, a professional agent will prepare a 'letter of intent'. This document clearly states the agreed price, exchange and completion dates, and what is to be included. At the same time, we recommend that you instruct a local lawyer to represent you in the purchase. Your signed letter of intent will be sent to your legal representative as a reference to the agreed terms.

Many high-end properties are owned in a corporate structure. The property itself is an asset of the company and buyers purchase the company's shares. These structures are usually domiciled in Malta or Delaware; however, there are several other white-listed jurisdictions around the world. If the property you choose is in one of these structures, your lawyer will carry out the normal legal searches on the property and undertake a due diligence on the corporate structure through a request to the management company that binds them in accordance to their regulations. This will clarify the fees, warranties, representation, history and legal procedures of the company.

A Share Purchase Agreement will then be prepared and, upon signature by both parties, all the conditions of the transaction are secured, and a usual 10% deposit will be paid to the vendor, via the lawyers' clients' account. This transaction takes place under the jurisdiction of the company's domicile but can also take place under Portuguese or other jurisdiction connected with the parties, safeguarding the formalities applicable to the transfer of the shares/rights in the jurisdiction of the company's domicile.
