For buyers
Find the right home.
Avoid the wrong one.
Good homes in Lisbon move fast, and the pitfalls are real. We do the groundwork — financing, legal checks, off-market access — so you can act quickly and with confidence.
How we work with you
01
Intro call
Your goals, budget, and timeline. We tell you honestly what's realistic in the current market — and what isn't.
02
Financing
We connect you with mortgage brokers who work with international buyers and help you get pre-approved, so you can move fast when it counts.
03
Search
On-market and off-market. We filter out overpriced properties and legal risks before you spend a Saturday visiting them.
04
Visits & due diligence
We check the documentation and flag legal issues before you commit — and we'll tell you not to buy when a property isn't right.
05
Negotiation & CPCV
We negotiate the terms and manage the promissory contract (CPCV) together with your lawyer.
06
Deed & keys
We coordinate the deed signing (escritura) and stay with you after — including help setting up utilities once you have the keys.

“Hugues is diligent, honest about what's going on, persistent when things get complicated (which is guaranteed buying in Lisbon), and has a strong network of lawyers, notaries, and brokers behind him. He has a rare combo of native English and French plus C1 Portuguese, so he's good at bridging foreigners and locals. Highly recommend.”
