Selling Your Property
Selling Your Property – What to Expect
Selling your property with Predimed Smart is a smooth and well-supported process. From the initial valuation to the final signing, we guide you every step of the way with clear communication, expert advice, and a proactive approach.
Listing Your Property
Once you contact us, we will begin by gathering some initial details and arranging a convenient time to visit your property.
During this visit, your dedicated property consultant will:
- Carry out a detailed assessment of your property
- Provide a realistic and informed market valuation
- Advise on pricing strategy to maximise interest
- Take professional photographs (and, where appropriate, video or drone footage)
- Collect key information to create a compelling listing
You will be assigned a dedicated listing consultant, who will be your main point of contact throughout the process — keeping you updated, organising viewings, and supporting you at every stage.
Documentation Required
To market your property effectively, we will need some essential documentation. These may include:
- Land Registry Certificate (Certidão de Teor/Permanente)
- Property Tax Document (Caderneta Predial)
- Habitation or Usage Licence (Licença de Utilização) or pre-1951 declaration
- Energy Certificate (Certificado Energético – mandatory)
- Identification and Fiscal Numbers (NIF) of all owners
- Company Certificate (if applicable)
- Technical File (Ficha Técnica – for properties built after 2004)
- Official property plans
If you don’t have all the documents ready or they need updating, don’t worry — Predimed Smart will assist you in obtaining everything required.
Marketing Your Property
We focus on giving your property maximum exposure to attract the right buyers.
Our strategy includes:
- Online visibility through our website and digital platforms
- International property portals such as Idealista and A place in the sun
- Global partnerships with agents and buyers across multiple markets
- Professional presentation, including high-quality photography and media
Our goal is simple: to position your property in front of serious, qualified buyers both locally and internationally.
Receiving and Agreeing an Offer
When a buyer expresses interest, we will present the offer to you along with full details, including:
- Offered price
- Proposed timelines
- Financing method
- Any conditions attached to the purchase
We will guide you through negotiations to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome. Once terms are agreed, the process moves forward.
The Sales Process Explained
In Portugal, the sale is typically completed in three key stages:
- Reservation
The buyer places a reservation deposit (usually held by their lawyer) as a sign of commitment.
At this stage:
- The property is usually removed from the market
- Both parties begin preparing for the next step
- Lawyers start due diligence
While not legally binding, this step provides reassurance for both buyer and seller.
- Promissory Contract (CPCV)
This is a legally binding agreement between buyer and seller.
It includes:
- Agreed sale price
- Timeline for completion
- Any specific conditions
The buyer typically pays a deposit (often up to 30%).
At this stage, both parties can move forward with confidence, knowing the terms are secured.
- Final Deed (Escritura)
The final stage takes place at a notary office in Portugal.
During this meeting:
- All legal documentation is verified
- The remaining balance is paid
- Ownership is officially transferred
- Keys are handed over to the buyer
The Land Registry is then updated to reflect the new ownership.
