Selling Your Property in Portugal

Selling your home is both a daunting and exciting experience. Thankfully, Silver Holidays are here to make the process a whole lot easier for you.

With more than 25 years’ experience of helping clients sell their homes and witnessing the continuous changes in the property market throughout the years, we can offer you an accurate valuation and confirm the local market value, to help decide on an asking price.

We aim to offer prospective buyers numerous high-quality photos of your property to highlight its best features and give them a clear understanding of the layout. Our team will take professional photographs and advertise your property on various local and international property portals. Additionally, we collaborate with other local and international estate agents to expand our reach and ensure maximum exposure for your property.

 When we obtain a new property listing, we would need to have the following documents: 

• Up-to-date tax certificate (Caderneta Predial)
• Up-to-date land registration certificate (Registo Predial/Certidão Permanente)
• Copies of last Deed (Escritura)
• Passport/ID of beneficial owner
• Approved property plans by the local town council (Plantas)
• Tax Identification Number of beneficail owner (Número de Identificação Fiscal)
• Energy Certificate (Certifiçado energético) 
• Certificate of incorporation (if the property is held in a company)
• Building Details (Cadastro Predial)
• When a buyer is found, you will be required to complete the KYC forms (KYC)
  
  Habitation license (Alvará de Utilização): a new law (Decree Law No.10/2024) came into effect on 8 January 2024, the Municipal Council has decided to stop issuing Habitation Licences starting from March 2024. This applies to ongoing cases where the license has not yet been issued, as well as to new projects starting after March 4, 2024. The process will be considered complete if you inform the council about your building and its purpose, submit all required documents, and pay the necessary taxes.
