It's a great time to sell an apartment or villa in the Algarve. Demand keeps rising, and despite the vast array of choice for buyers, properties are keeping - and exceeding - their value, especially at the high-end.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

STEP 1: VALUATION

How much will a motivated buyer pay for a property like yours? It depends on so many things:

• LOCATION: from your place on the map to local amenities, everything counts. 
• COMPETITION: what else is selling now, and who’s building nearby?
• ASPECT: is it secluded and angled to catch the sun – and what about the view?
• DESIGN: do the layout and spec appeal to modern tastes?
• SPACE: how many bedrooms and receptions, and what scope for adaptations?
• LUXURIES: a pool, tennis court, cinema room…what makes this a must-have?
• ACCESS: what about parking – and is it suitable for different mobility needs?
• MAINTENANCE: is any work needed, now or in the near future?

All this and more is factored in when we appraise your property. We’ll give you a realistic valuation, and break down local taxes so you can proceed with a final figure in mind.

​​​​​​​

As a rule of thumb*:

• Non-Residents pay Capital Gains Tax at 28%.
• Companies pay the same tax at 25%.
• Residents pay tax on 50% of their gains at their personal Income Tax level.

* Rates are subject to change. Exemptions apply if you’re selling your primary home and investing the profit in another EU property.

Also – if the property is worth over €600,000 (or €1.2 Million for couples), you’ll be liable for AIMI: a new tax charged at 0.4% for companies and 0.7% - 1% for individuals.

STEP 2: DOCUMENTATION

Before listing your property, we’ll need to see a batch of documents:

• Property Floor Plans – or Technical Data if built after 2004
• Building Permit or Habitation License
• Land Registry Certificate
• Title Deed Registration
• Tax Certificate
• Energy Certificate
• Personal ID (a passport, ID card or Portuguese Tax Number)

If you’re thinking of selling soon, it’s best to pull all these items together now.

STEP 3: HIRING

​​​​​​​
Now you’re ready to engage us as your realtor, so we can start promoting your property to our list of potential buyers. We’ll take on the cost of advertising too – it’s all included in our flat fee of 5%.

And remember, you pay nothing for listing…it’s sale or no deal.

There is one expense you can’t avoid, though: you’re going to need a solicitor.

Technically you can sell without one, because the buyer’s solicitor does all the paperwork. But you need a legal mind who’s there to fight your corner – especially if there’s a language barrier and you’re new to Portuguese property laws.

If it helps, we can introduce you to one of the local property lawyers we know and trust.

STEP 4: PROMISSORY CONTRACT

Let’s say you receive – and accept – an offer. Next, your buyer’s solicitor will take around two weeks poring over your documents and writing a Due Diligence report. If all is in order, they’ll proceed to a Promissory Contract of Purchase: the first legally-binding agreement between you and the buyer.

This contract sets out all the conditions of sale, including a time limit for the final sale to go through. Once it’s signed (with a notary present), you’ll receive a non-refundable deposit – usually between 10% - 30% of the price you’ve agreed.

STEP 5: FINAL DEEDS

If there’s no finance involved, we can complete within a few weeks. Otherwise, it may take up to 2 months between the Promissory and the day you finally hand over the keys. During this time, the lawyers get busy preparing – and translating - the Final Deed of Purchase, and checking legalities like payment of Property Transfer Tax (IMP).

On the final day, the deed is verified by both parties and the balance is paid before ownership is formally transferred.

That’s how it works. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes there are challenges. But whatever bumps lie in the road, we’ll support you throughout – because we’re so much more than a simple “finder of buyers”.
