ENENPTFRWhat a property lawyer checks in Ponta Delgada
Buying in Ponta Delgada usually means a transaction around €180,000 for a standard apartment — enough at stake to do the checks properly. In the Azores, expect attention to fragmented inherited plots, co-ownership, and the archipelago's regional planning and land-use rules. 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.
