A recent European Commission report claims Portuguese homes are significantly overvalued. But while headlines attract attention, they don’t help buyers in real negotiations…

Hidden moisture, heat loss, and past repairs often stay out of sight — until it’s too late. Learn how infrared and moisture detection can reveal the truth behind the walls before you buy your next home in Portugal.

Sometimes a home looks fine at first glance — but is it really OK? In Portugal, hidden issues like roof leaks, outdated wiring, or moisture problems can turn into big surprises. Here’s how a home inspection gives you clear answers before CPCV, whether you’re buying, selling, or renting.

What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an unbiased review of the current conditions of the home.

A pre-listing inspection isn’t about finding problems — it’s about uncovering opportunities. Learn how this strategic step can protect your property’s value, speed up closing, and give you control at the negotiating table.

In most cases, once you sign the CPCV, you’re committing to the purchase with a deposit on the line. Some contracts include an inspection clause, which gives you a little flexibility if something significant comes up — but not all of them do. That’s why many buyers prefer to schedule the inspection before CPCV, when they still have full freedom to negotiate or walk away.
