In Portugal the authorities have taken great measures in simplifying the purchase process and today there is for example the CasaPronta desk service which is a one stop service for purchasing property. We advise to follow the steps above and always have a representative fluent in both Portuguese and your language as it may otherwise feel difficult to follow what in essence is a straight forward process.
