Property and capital in Portugal

Get your funds ready
to buy in Portugal

Bring your budget, documents and payment dates into one workable plan. Start here if your funds are in an overseas bank, crypto assets or several different sources. Our team can then handle the preparation and support you need for the purchase.

Start with three questions

  1. Where are the funds now?

    Country, bank or platform, currency and who owns the funds. List each source separately if there is more than one.

  2. What must the funds pay for?

    Deposit, the next developer instalment, final settlement, taxes and transaction costs. Allocate the amounts to each purpose.

  3. When are they needed?

    Match contractual dates to document preparation, processing and when the funds will actually be available.

One plan for several sources

Bank funds

Prepare statements, evidence of how the funds were acquired, recipient details and the reason for payment. Establish the sending and receiving banks’ requirements.

Crypto assets

Gather acquisition and transfer records, the assets involved and platform documentation. We will then organise conversion and settlement with the parties involved.

Mortgage and your own funds

Put your own payments and the loan release on one schedule. Request the FINE mortgage information sheet and match the offer to the purchase dates.

Prepare funds alongside the purchase

Property documents, contract terms and available funds need to move together. Before the next payment, establish the recipient, amount and supporting evidence needed. This gives you a practical basis for agreeing dates and meeting your commitments.

Match payments to preparation
Dates and amounts come from your purchase. Include mortgage funds at the stage when they are actually released. Before the next commitment: Funds: budget and source Documents: offer, contract, funds history. According to the agreed schedule: Funds: payments at each stage Documents: terms and evidence of each payment. For final settlement: Funds: remaining price and costs Documents: readiness to complete and settle

What to gather yourself

  1. How the funds were acquired

    For example, records of earnings, an asset sale, dividends or inheritance that match your circumstances.

  2. How the funds moved

    Statements and transfer confirmations between your accounts; for crypto assets, platform and transaction records as well.

  3. The planned purchase

    The property offer, contract or draft, payment schedule and account details supplied by the parties.

  4. Missing information and the next deadline

    Note what is still missing and which payment comes next. That gives us a useful starting point.

Has a transfer stalled or the bank asked questions?

Tell us which payment is pending, what the bank requested and when the money is needed. We will help assemble a response, work through the documents and organise the next steps for the purchase. Start with a short description; we will request the detailed documents separately.
