Buying in Cascais usually means a transaction around €520,000 for a standard apartment — enough at stake to do the checks properly. Around Lisbon, the usual checkpoints are horizontal-property (condominium) rules, Alojamento Local limits in restricted parishes, and registry details that don't match older buildings as they were actually built. Wherever the property is, a lawyer here confirms clean title at the Land Registry (Conservatória), that the caderneta predial and usage permit match what's actually built, and that no debts or charges are attached before you sign the CPCV.
