Lisbon Specialists
Your buyer's agent in the heart of Lisbon
Expert, independent guidance for international buyers in Lisbon. Free for buyers — we work for you, not the seller.
What we do
Find the Right Property in Lisbon — Without the Stress
Buying property in Lisbon as an international buyer is genuinely complex — a legal process in a language you may not speak, a market where asking prices often bear little relation to what properties actually sell for, and the best apartments changing hands before they ever reach the portals.
We're an independent buyer's agent that handles the whole thing — market search, neighbourhood advice, price negotiation, legal and financial coordination, and settling in. Our fee is paid by the seller's side, so there is no cost to you. Our loyalty is yours alone.
Our model
Free for Buyers — Here's How It Works
In Portugal, agent fees are paid by the seller — typically 3–5% of the sale price. As your buyer's agent, we earn a share of that commission at completion, which means you receive expert, independent representation at no cost to you.
Get in touch →- We work for you, not the seller
No conflicts of interest. Our job is to find the right property — including the ones we think you should walk away from.
- Access to the full market
We search all listings, including off-market and pre-listed properties that never reach the portals.
- Expert negotiation on your side
Market-informed offers based on real comparables — we handle the conversation with the seller directly.
The process
Your Buying Journey
A nine-stage path from first call to keys. At each stage, here's what's happening on your side — and where we can help, introduce someone, or step in.
- 01
Free Discovery Call
You tell us what you're looking for; we tell you what's realistic in Lisbon right now. Thirty minutes, no obligation either way.
- 02
Legal & Admin Setup
You'll need a Portuguese lawyer, a NIF (tax number) and a local bank account. We can introduce you to people we trust for all three — or work with whoever you prefer.
- 03
Finance & Mortgage Prep
If you're financing, this is when you sort a mortgage. We can introduce you to brokers who specialise in international buyers, or you can bring your own. Either way, it helps to be clear on numbers before viewings start.
- 04
Neighbourhood & Property Search
You decide what matters — budget, neighbourhood feel, views, floorplan. We shortlist against your brief across the public portals and off-market opportunities we hear about.
- 05
Property Visits
You view the shortlist. We come with you, brief you on each property beforehand, and give an honest read afterwards on condition, realistic value and fit.
- 06
Offer & Negotiation
When you find the right one, we work up an offer based on comparable sales and negotiate directly with the seller's agent on your behalf. This is where a buyer's agent earns their place.
- 07
Due Diligence & Contracts
Your lawyer runs the formal due diligence before you sign the CPCV (promissory contract). We stay in the loop, keep things moving, and flag anything that doesn't look right.
- 08
Final Deed & Handover
You sign the escritura (final deed) at a Portuguese notary. We come with you. If you can't be in Lisbon that day, your lawyer can arrange power of attorney and we'll attend on your behalf.
- 09
Settling In & Ongoing Support
Once the keys are yours, there's utilities, any renovation work and local registrations to sort. We can introduce you to people we trust for any of it, and stay in touch as long as it's useful.
