Real estate, planning and environment

ForIndividualsBusinessesPublic sector

Buying, selling, letting, building or managing a property involves contracts, registrations, licences and, at times, neighbours and co-owners. We check the legal status of the property before anything is signed and handle procedures before municipalities and land registry offices. In energy and the environment, we support generation projects and the exploitation of natural resources.

What we do

  • Promissory contracts, purchase and sale, urban and rural leases, brokerage and usufruct
  • Real estate due diligence: certificates, liens, charges and occupancy permits
  • Land registration, horizontal property (condominium) regime and title by adverse possession
  • Condominiums: rules, general meetings, collection of service charges and challenges to resolutions
  • Short-term rentals (alojamento local): registration, notifications and rules
  • Tenancy disputes and eviction
  • Planning: licensing, prior notification, plot subdivision and regularisation of building works; expropriations and easements
  • Energy and environment: power generation contracts, exploitation of natural resources and environmental impact assessment
