Sell Your Home in Lisbon

Selling a home in Lisbon is regulated mediation. I hold AMI licence 16282 and work as an independent consultant affiliated with Century 21 RealtyArt, from the office at Rua Rodrigo da Fonseca 14. I help owners in Lisbon and Greater Lisbon set a realistic price, prepare the property and stay with the file until completion.

The work starts with a free commercial valuation and no obligation. If you decide to list, I handle photography and video, the marketing plan, buyer qualification, viewings and the negotiation. Legal support and a mortgage referral are available when the case needs them. I do not give legal advice beyond this general guidance: the documents you sign are reviewed with the professionals who prepare them.

Since 2017 I have supported owners, buyers and investors, with a civil-engineering background and a strategy-first approach. The same standard applies to an apartment, a house, land, a commercial unit or a premium home.

How a sale is organised

1. 01 Free valuation

   I visit the property and compare it with homes that are actually trading in that part of Lisbon or Greater Lisbon. You receive a commercial view of a sensible asking range and of what would change it: condition, floor, light, energy performance and how the home is presented. There is no obligation to list afterwards.

2. 02 Documents before the listing

   A buyer and a bank usually ask for the permanent land-registry certificate (certidão permanente), a valid energy certificate, the floor plan and, where the property needs one, the habitation licence. Gathering these at the start stops the sale pausing after an offer.

3. 03 Presentation and marketing

   Photography and video, and a 3D tour when it helps, are prepared for the listing. The property is promoted on national and international portals and to buyers I am already qualifying. The description states the facts of the home.

4. 04 Viewings and qualification

   I filter enquiries before a viewing: budget, timing and whether finance is realistic. You receive updates as the activity happens. Published hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00, and Saturday 09:00 to 13:00.

5. 05 Offer and negotiation

   When an offer arrives I set out the price, the timing and the conditions in plain language, and I run the negotiation. If a mortgage is part of the deal I can refer a partner. The bank's valuation is separate from my commercial valuation.

6. 06 Promissory contract and completion

   The promissory contract and the deed are prepared with the legal support agreed for that file. I coordinate access, meters, keys and the handover through to completion. My role is mediation under AMI 16282, not a substitute for your solicitor or the notary.

Documents sellers are usually asked for

In a typical sale in Lisbon the buyer's side asks for the certidão permanente do registo predial, a valid energy certificate, the floor plan and proof that condominium charges are up to date. A habitation licence is requested when the property needs one. The registry extract also shows who the registered owners are.

The energy certificate, cleaning, small repairs and staging can be arranged as separate services, looked at one by one. I do not quote those fees on this page, and I do not tell you that a missing paper is optional. If something is unclear, we confirm it before the property is advertised.

Fees, in general terms

The mediation commission is agreed in writing at the start and is due only if the sale completes. Other costs that often sit with a seller — certificates, small works, and any tax on a gain — depend on the property and on your own tax position. I explain the headings at the first meeting. I do not publish a percentage here, and nothing on this page is tax or legal advice.

How long it tends to take

There is no fixed timetable. A realistic price and complete documents usually produce viewings sooner than an overpriced listing whose papers are still to order. You can reach me at Rua Rodrigo da Fonseca 14, 1250-192 Lisboa, or on +351 918 036 146.

I had the pleasure of choosing Catarina to handle the entire transaction process for the purchase and sale of my property.
