ENENPTFRWhat a property lawyer checks in Vila Viçosa
Buying in Vila Viçosa usually means a transaction around €110,000 for a standard apartment — enough at stake to do the checks properly. In the Alentejo, large rural plots bring boundary and water-rights checks, agricultural and cork-land classification, and confirmation that any building on the land is fully licensed. 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.

Typically a fixed fee or around 1% of the purchase price, agreed up front. On a €110,000 purchase that's a small fraction of what an unnoticed title or planning problem could cost you.
