When purchasing property in Portugal, it is essential to follow the necessary legal steps to officially register ownership. At Compass Property Sales, we ensure that every client understands the process and has a smooth experience when the property is for sale in Tavira Portugal.

The first step is obtaining a Portuguese tax number (Número de Identificação Fiscal), which is required for any property purchase. Once the sale is agreed upon, a promissory contract (Contrato de Promessa de Compra e Venda) is typically signed. This contract outlines the terms of the sale and ensures both parties are legally bound to complete the transaction.

After the final deed (Escritura de Compra e Venda) is signed at the notary’s office, the property ownership must be registered with the Land Registry (Registo Predial). This crucial step provides official recognition of ownership and protects the buyer’s rights.

Compass Property Sales is committed to guiding you through every stage of property for sale in Tavira Portugal and ensuring your investment is securely registered and legally compliant.
